Abstract:
An analytical study was carried out to evaluate shear wall indexes for low to mid-rise reinforced concrete structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different shear wall ratios on performance of buildings to be utilized in the preliminary assessment and design stages of reinforced concrete buildings with shear walls. In order to achieve this aim, forty five 3D building models with two, five and eight storeys having different wall ratios were generated. Linearly elastic and nonlinear static pushover analyses of the models were performed by SAP2000. Variation of roof drift

Abstract:
Structural engineers routinely need to make assumptions about the dynamic properties (natural periods, mode shapes, and damping) of a building to simulate its response to dynamic loads, such as strong winds or earthquake ground motions. However, the assumed properties may significantly differ from those of the actual building, once it is constructed, due to differences between the idealized model and in situ conditions. The main objectives of this study are to evaluate how common models and assumptions used to predict the dynamic properties of buildings compare to those measured in actual buil

In shear wall buildings, walls serve as the seismic force resisting system while the gravity-load system consists of columns that are primarily designed to carry the weight of the building through frame action and are not detailed for seismic ductility. Design codes require the gravity-load system to be checked for deformation compatibility as the building deforms laterally. The process of checking the columns for adequate deformability still requires more work.

Shear cracks are formed when high oblique tensile stresses, e.g. in thin webs, exceed the tensile strength.

In order to avoid this incident (inadequate amount of shear reinforcement), the reinforcement stress is often being assumed as a ultimate limit load in order to fulfill requirements regarding crack control in the service-ability limit state (SLS).

Abstract:
In recent years, widespread application of low-rise masonry construction, including post-disaster buildings like fire halls, has become limited in seismic regions of Canada. This is because the Canadian Masonry Design Standard (CSA S304.1-04) [Canadian Standard Association 2004] mandates stringent requirements on the design of ductile reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls, especially with regard to their height-to-thickness (h/t) ratios, which were restricted to ensure against out-of-plane instability. This failure mechanism has been observed in the end zones of reinforced concrete shear walls l

Abstract:
Non-ductile reinforced concrete frame buildings constitute an important part of the vulnerable buildings in seismic regions of the world. Collapse of non-ductile multi story concrete buildings during strong earthquakes in the past resulted in severe casualties and economic losses. Their rehabilitation through retrofitting is a critical issue in reducing seismic risks worldwide. A displacement-based retrofitting approach is presented in this study for seismic retrofitting of medium height non-ductile concrete frames. A minimum amount of shear walls are added for maintaining the deformation le

Abstract:
In order to predict the inelastic hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls under lateral cyclic loading, robust and reliable numerical tools are required. The Shear-Flexure-Interaction Multiple-Vertical-Line-Element-Model (SFI-MVLEM) proposed by Kolozvari et al. (2015) incorporates important material characteristics and behavioral response features, therefore it promises excellent capabilities. In reference to the SFI-MVLEM approach, this study investigates the global response (i.e. lateral load versus lateral top displacement) sensitivity to some input parameters, in o
