During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid-to
high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs …

The growing need for residential housing in Latin American countries has led to the
construction of reinforced concrete buildings with wall thicknesses as low as 8–10 cm. Such …

Concrete members reinforced with electro-welded cold-drawn wire meshes have
experimented deformation capacity lower than that of elements reinforced with conventional …

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 …

This article presents an experimental evaluation of electro-welded wire meshes featuring
bars ranging from 6 to 8 mm in diameter, focusing on their monotonic tensile and cyclic …

Study of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a construction material has increased
significantly in recent years. This is attributed to the benefits that steel fibers provide to …

Nota sobre figuras con texto en inglés: Este documento resume el trabajo de investigación
de la Red Colombiana de Investigación en Ingeniería (CEER) desde 2015, parte del cual se …

Thin reinforced concrete walls may fail due to out-of-plane instability when subjected to
seismic loading. While previous numerical studies on wall instability have focused on the …
