Concrete walls founded on earthquake areas
… on bedrock or soil bed. In the project, 10 walls are modeled in a structural software program, five squat walls and five slender walls. The walls have different foundations, fixed to the ground (cantilever), founded on bedrock and founded on soil bed (gravel) with and without damping. …

Strength of slender reinforced concrete walls
… the behaviour of single span slender reinforced concrete members with depth/span ratios equal to and larger than 1. A series-of deep panels with depth/span ratios between I and 4 was studied experimentally. These elements were tested under third point loads at the top level. Aspects such as …

Performance of C-Shaped structural concrete walls subjected to bi-directional loading
Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used as the lateral force resisting system for mid-rise buildings in regions of low and high seismicity. Wall geometries in buildings are generally complex configurations to accommodate architectural constraints during new construction or existing conditions …

Seismic Assessment of Singly Reinforced Concrete Walls in Pre-1970s Multi-Storey Buildings
… failure behavior was observed of the reinforced concrete walls in multi-storey buildings constructed before mid-1970s, which highlighted the structural vulnerabilities of older reinforced concrete walls. In this thesis, the structural characteristics of older reinforced concrete walls in …

Impact of cross section, web reinforcement and load history on the seismic performance of slender concrete walls
Many reinforced concrete buildings in seismic regions employ reinforced concrete shear walls as part of the lateral force resisting system and these walls often have non-planar cross-sectional geometries. To date, the majority of experimental tests on slender concrete walls have been conducted on …

La Marginal: A Coastal Promenade Park
… is created as a connector, defined mostly by the concrete walls that resemble the coastal edge. The concrete walls are used as connecting and defining elements of this entities.

Bartletts Maine estate winery
… a winery and the private domain of a house using concrete walls as barriers, boundaries and structure.

A Shelter in El Salvador
… of gravel and grass that bound and hold the concrete walls of the house. Within these wall an architectural game of turning, pushing, pulling, and shifting begging to play out; found in the shadows of a corner, in the depths of a break, in the repetition of a joint.

A Layered Ceiling: A Center for Ballroom Dance
… the pool outside its layered facade. Layers of concrete walls create thresholds and add depth to the views between spaces. Light, material, and people follow indirect paths through the building and its detailed elements.

Fite Fuaite
… timber frame structure in contrast to existing concrete walls, testing a general case for the potential power of interventions and adaptive reuse to be a means to a rebirth and retelling of the stories of existing buildings.

SoundSkinSpace
… acoustic activities of a university. The walls reflect and focus sound due to their material and geometry. Sound is treated as a building material; used to help form the spaces that are visibly bounded by concrete and plywood. Concrete walls and plywood floor will alter the acoustic …

Intrinsics: An Exploration in Tectonic Expression
… and arches, metal connectors, and reinforced concrete walls. I explored what can happen if each layer of a glue-laminated member is allowed to act independently, separating from the girder in appropriate places to recombine into a new whole. The monolith transforms into a pattern of parts.

Gathering Between Walls: A Catholic Church in 12 Mile, Kentucky
… from the space. By using two massive double concrete walls that would encompass all of the non-essential functions of the church, the space between the walls was freed up to be used as the body of the church where nothing but the Liturgy of the Eucharist would take place.

Construction and characterization of a fission converter based epithermal neutron beam for BNCT
… which is built with 1.1 m thick, high density concrete walls and is large enough to permit various treatment configurations. Ambient dose equivalent rates outside the shielded room are < I mrem/hr with the converter operating at full power and do not interfere with other experimental users and …

MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PLASTIC CONCRETE
… strain on the hydraulic conductivity of plastic concrete. This experimental investigation was performed using a state of the art Global Digital System (GDS) computer controlled triaxial machine according to ASTM D2166. The GDS Triaxial machine was used to investigate the hydraulic conductivity …

Elderly housing, orphanage, and community center
… building is organized around a series of major concrete walls, paired for circulation and containing volumes between the pairs, spaced in multiples of two and three. These walls are oriented to the geologic strike of the rock beds, perhaps the most permanent of all site qualities. Bridges link …

Detailing for compression in reinforced concrete wall boundary elements: experiments, simulations, and design recommendations
Reinforced concrete structural walls are one of the most common lateral force-resisting systems in buildings located in high seismicity regions. Walled structures are expected to provide significant strength and ductility under cyclic earthquake loading. In part, this expectation is based on the …

Heat transfer through anaerobic digester concrete tank walls
… is a study of the heat transfer through concrete walls in anaerobic digester facilities. In the biogas industry, the term “heat loss” is synonymous with heat transfer. The dissertation identifies the reasons why heat is critical in the operations of these facilities. Concrete has …

NDT to characterize 3D printed concrete interlayer bonds
… industry involves extruding layer upon layer of concrete to create a desired structure. Layer interfaces can form cold joints, or bond weaknesses, that could compromise structural integrity. Furthermore, the unique characteristics and geometric constraints associated with 3D printed concrete …

Landscape viewing in metropolitan Boston
… of the composition is two tall, tapering concrete walls that rise from beneath the ground. The walls curve through the landscape, disappearing and reappearing. Their character is a complement to the contours of the land. The secondary structure is a light wood and steel frame construction. …
