This paper summarises 123 existing quasi-static shear–compression tests on stone masonry
walls and evaluates the results to provide the input required for the displacement-based …

While external FRP sheets are a viable solution for the strengthening of concrete members,
there is a lack of mechanical models that can capture their effect on the shear strength of …

Measurements taken from recent test series with varying slenderness reveal strong
differences between fracture kinematics of slender and compact slabs failing in punching. In …

It is common in concrete structures to encounter deep beams that are loaded or supported
by wide elements such as shear walls in buildings and large piers in bridges. This type of …

Over the past decades, a large number of punching shear resistance models with different
backgrounds have been developed. Among them, punching shear resistance models based …

Current design codes lack robust assessment methods for shear‐critical non‐slender
members based on on‐site crack measurements. Therefore, in this paper, a comprehensive …

In many countries of moderate to high seismicity, reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are
used as lateral bracing systems in mid-to high-rise buildings where they typically …

Reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used in buildings to resist lateral loads due
to wind and seismic action. They are typically either cast-in-place or precast, with the latter …

Six squat walls were tested under cyclic loading to investigate the effects of flanges and high-
strength reinforcing bars on the shear strength. Test parameters were the grade of …

In this paper, a numerical critical shear crack model, in which the shear‐flexural coupling
effect is considered and the full process of stress and strain is captured, is proposed to …
