Abstract: The design of a full‐scale reinforced concrete building is compared to US seismic resistant design practice, and the observed behavior and measured response of the building during a series of simulated earthquake tests is ...

Abstract: Results are presented from an experimental study on four reduced‐scale reinforced concrete structural wall specimens. All the specimens are lightly reinforced. One test specimen has a solid web and the other three have ...

Abstract: Two‐dimensional continuum finite elements are used to model a 10‐story reinforced concrete shear‐wall building subjected to in‐plane loadings. The

Abstract: The results of a series of tests on a full‐scale reinforced concrete structure subjected to simulated earthquake loading are used to study the behavior of beam hinging regions. The measured beam rotations from an open frame ...

Abstract: A model to predict the shear strength versus shear distortion response of hybrid connections between reinforced concrete columns and steel (RCS) beams is presented. Based on a preestablished maximum attainable joint shear ...

Abstract: The inelastic cyclic response of hybrid connections consisting of RC columns and steel beams (RCS) is studied in this paper. Experimental results from the lateral load testing of nine exterior RCS connections are presented. ...

Abstract: A model for predicting punching shear failures at interior slab-column connections was developed based on experimental results obtained at various universities. This model has been incorporated into a new RC slab element ...

Abstract: A simple model is presented to estimate the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) beams without stirrup reinforcement. The model was developed on the basis of observations from tests of 27 large-scale ...
