Strength of slender reinforced concrete walls
… with 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 …

Seismic Assessment of Singly Reinforced Concrete Walls in Pre-1970s Multi-Storey Buildings
… undesirable 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 …

Intrinsics: An Exploration in Tectonic Expression
… wood beams 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 …

Through-the-Wall Imaging and Multipath Exploitation
… such as when they are hidden behind walls and other opaque objects. The often unknown electromagnetic interactions between the target and the surrounding area, make the problem challenging. To improve our results, we exploit information in the multipath of the objects surrounding both …

Inelastic Dynamic Behavior And Design Of Hybrid Coupled Wall Systems
… which steel beams are used to couple two or more reinforced concrete shear walls in series, can be designed to have these attributes and therefore have the potential to deliver good performance under severe seismic loading. This research presents an investigation of the seismic behavior of this …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Cracking of reinforced concrete structural walls subjected to cyclic loading
… tools for predicting the behavior of concrete structures is the lack of comprehensive and dense test data from more realistic experiments. The expression “comprehensive and dense” is being used to describe the collection of full-field strains, deformations, and other test data. The …
