In the seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) wall structures, the special seismic details,
which include lateral confinements with closed hoops and crossties developed with 135° …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are primarily designed to resist lateral actions in
buildings, in addition to carrying the vertical loads from above. Recent changes in the …

The increasing demand of housing in urban areas in Latin America has driven the
construction of a significant number of buildings using reinforced concrete (RC) walls with …

This study aims to examine the seismic performance of non-seismically designed shear wall
with moderate shear span-to-length ratios (SLR) under relatively high axial loads. Four wall …

The utilization of thinner and more slender walls in the design of reinforced concrete shear
wall structures has become increasingly popular in Chile and other countries. However …

Although reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are popular in construction practice
internationally, there is a paucity of experimental research investigating the seismic …

Past earthquakes have shown that cracking affects post-earthquake functionality and
accounted for huge repair costs for reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings, even though the …

Reinforced concrete walls provide effective bracing against seismic lateral loading for
buildings worldwide. In Latin America, seismic design provisions commonly adhere to the …

Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to resist the lateral loading induced by wind
and earthquake actions. While most walls include two vertical reinforcement layers, some …

Reinforced concrete wall buildings of the industrialized system widely used in Colombia for
housing construction in recent years present particular characteristics that make them a …
