The satisfactory structural behavior observed during large earthquakes and the high
seismicity of the country has conditioned the Chilean society to expect immediate occupancy …

A new, three-dimensional, four-node, macroscopic model element for nonlinear analysis of
reinforced concrete walls is developed and implemented in the structural analysis software …

Summary The 15‐story Alto Rio building built in 2006 in the city of Concepción, Chile, was
the only modern building that collapsed catastrophically during the February 27, 2010 Mw …

The large inelastic shear magnification has been seldom considered in the design practice.
Consequently the shear resistance of existing buildings might be insufficient and inelastic …

An analysis of the interaction between reinforced concrete walls and slabs tested on the
shaking table was performed. The tested structure consisted of four walls connected by three …

A three‐dimensional beam–truss model (BTM) for reinforced concrete (RC) walls that
explicitly models flexure–shear interaction and accurately captures diagonal shear failures …

A shake-table test of a 1: 3 scale model of a thin, lightly reinforced concrete (RC), 5-story
coupled wall, representing a typical apartment building with a high wall-to-floor area ratio …

This paper analytically investigates the design of supplemental metallic yielding dissipators
to reduce the lateral displacements of pin-supported wall-frame (PWF) structures under high …

This timely new textbook lays bare the ways in which disease and disaster can turn
politicians into global leaders or national liabilities. It explains the impact of crises on …

The use of an enhanced version of the Beam-Truss Model proposed in a previous study to
compute the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete coupled walls is discussed in this …
