Shear walls are one of the primary lateral resisting structural elements. Due to architectural
and technical needs, openings in the structural wall are almost inevitable. Discontinuity …

A shear wall becomes weak when an opening is provided in it. It is important to provide
some arrangement in the shear wall having an opening for recovering strength loss due to …

The effect of cement content, compaction energy and compaction delay on cement-treated
lateritic gravels from north-eastern Nigeria was investigated in this study. The natural and …

Finite element method (FEM) is an effective quantitative method to solve complex
engineering problems. The basic idea of FEM for a complex problem is to be able to find a …

Shear walls are one of the primary lateral resisting structural elements. Due to architectural
and technical needs, openings in the structural wall are almost inevitable. Discontinuity …

The architectural complexity and multifunctional requirements for modern high‐rise
buildings usually lead to the utilization of combined structural systems, which typically …

Shear walls (SW) are proven to be efficient in resisting and transferring the lateral/seismic
loads in earthquake prone areas. In High raised buildings it is customary to provide …

Although steel plate shear walls have been used to resist lateral loads in recent decades, its
complex behavior has brought about difficulties in employing this system. In this study, the …

From engineering point of view, a construction can be named tall when its height leads to
significant influence of lateral forces of wind and earthquake on its design. Also, contrary to …
