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 …

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 …

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 …

This paper aims to show the application of site-specific response spectra in the analysis of
buildings that are supported by lightly reinforced precast concrete walls. Previous surveys …
