Reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are commonly used to provide buildings with lateral
and torsional resistance against the actions of wind and earthquakes. In low-to-moderate …

Reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are embedded within buildings internationally and can
provide the primary lateral resistance to buildings in the events of high winds or …

Reinforced concrete (RC) U-shaped walls are a popular construction choice, commonly
used to resist the lateral loads from wind and earthquakes. In many buildings, the center of …

Reinforced concrete core walls form the backbone of millions of buildings internationally,
bracing the structure against wind and earthquake loading. Due largely to plan asymmetry, a …

A three‐dimensional beam‐truss model for reinforced concrete (RC) walls developed by the
first two authors in a previous study is modified to better represent the flexure–shear …

The objective of the present work is that of making a contribution to the performance-based
seismic design of RC buildings with U-shaped walls. Since U-shaped walls are often placed …

This data paper describes an experimental campaign on two reinforced concrete (RC) U-
shaped walls, including details of the test units, materials, test setup, loading protocol …

The three-dimensional (3D) beam-truss model (BTM) for reinforced concrete (RC) walls,
which was developed by the first two authors in a previously published paper, is modified to …

The torsional strength of reinforced concrete (RC) members is typically calculated through
the thin-walled tube, space truss analogy. The governing equations are simple equilibrium …

Although dynamic torsional responses are often regarded as secondary effects in the
seismic design of symmetric-plan buildings, torsional effects arising from plan asymmetry …
