Although conventional reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are prevalent in mid-rise to high-
rise framed buildings located in moderate to high seismic regions around the world, these …

Shear walls play crucial roles in buildings located in the seismically active regions by
efficiently mitigating the impact of seismic forces. However, they have drawbacks regarding …

An innovative seismic resisting system consisting of a Pre cast W all with E nd C olumns (or
PreWEC) has been developed, and its performance has been verified using large‐scale …

This paper carries out the static bending and free vibration analysis of two-layer variable
thickness plates with shear connectors. The finite element formulations are presented in …

A series of cyclic lateral-load tests were conducted on four different unbonded post-
tensioned precast concrete wall systems, including two Single Rocking Walls (SRW) and …

This paper proposes a novel low-rise precast wall panel structure with bolt connections,
which has advantages of convenient and rapid assembly. To investigate seismic …

This paper aims to investigate the seismic behavior of buildings equipped with self-centering
birocking walls to find out the optimum location of the rocking section in the height. For this …

A self-centering concrete wall system has been developed that consists of a Precast Wall
with End Columns (PreWEC). A finite element model was developed to investigate the cyclic …

To enhance the repairability of lateral force resisting systems after earthquakes, a novel
precast rocking wall with multiple steel energy dissipaters (PRW-MED) was devised, and a …

An unbonded post-tensioned (PT) concrete wall system with vertical energy-dissipating
connections (UPTW-VEC) is proposed that consists of precast wall panels, several X …
