This research investigates the development of analytical fragility functions for reinforced
concrete shear wall buildings in Australia. A building stock for the city of Melbourne is used …

This study aimed to quantitatively develop realistic quasi-static loading protocols for
simulating bidirectional cyclic actions and axial load variation on building columns in a way …

Quasi-static tests were carried out on the RC shear walls with various size post-openings,
550 mm× 650 mm (12%), 700 mm× 850 mm (20%) and 850 mm× 1000 mm (28%), the …

This paper presents an overview and results of a recent experimental testing program of
nonductile reinforced concrete (RC) wall boundary elements. The experimental program …

Precast concrete building cores are a widely used lateral load resisting system in low and
mid-rise multi-storey buildings. However, despite their widespread use in countries like …

Columns in building frame systems are subjected to the combined action of bidirectional
horizontal loading and axial load variation during an earthquake. Whilst the behaviour of RC …

Precast concrete construction is frequently preferred all over the world because of its rapid
production and low cost. Prefabricated structures are constructed by assembling, the …

Displacement-based methods, such as a non-linear static pushover analysis (eg the
capacity spectrum method), have many advantages compared to traditional force-based …

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on the behavior of axially‐
loaded concrete walls restrained on three sides (TW3S walls). Particular emphasis was …

Current detailing practices in regions of low to moderate seismicity, which are typically
intraplate regions, result in limited to moderately ductile reinforced concrete (RC) columns …
