Precast concrete cladding is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as a means of building
cladding. Precast concrete sandwich panels are a specific type of precast cladding …

Reconnaissance studies on the recent Tohoku earthquake have reported collapse of
structures due to multiple earthquake excitations in the earthquake-affected region. Strength …

Subjected to a corrosive environment, the macroscopic behavior of reinforced concrete
structures is closely related to the bond property between rebar and concrete. For assessing …

This paper investigates the seismic response of lightly reinforced precast concrete shear
walls typically used for low-to mid-rise residential systems in past and current Dutch building …

The phenomena of induced seismicity have recently become of increasing interest for
public/private authorities and stakeholders due to the impact that some of these low-intensity …

It is important to quickly strengthen and repair earthquake-damaged buildings to restore the
normal life after earthquake. Therefore, it is necessary to study the seismic performance of …

Reinforced concrete slabs are an essential part of high-rise structures and are designed to
withstand the loads to which they are subjected. However, concrete slabs may fail due to …

In this paper, 12 laminated reinforced concrete shear walls are designed for cyclic loading
tests. Seismic performance of laminated reinforced concrete shear walls with vertical seams …

The application of single-face superposed (SFS) shear walls in high-rise residential
buildings within seismic zones has attracted extensive attention in past years, but the …

This research work is aimed at studying the seismic behavior of a lightly reinforced precast
concrete wall system that is typical in northern European regions characterized by little or no …
