Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the performance of half-scale, unbonded, post-tensioning, precast concrete walls subjected to fully reversed cyclic loads. Moreover, this paper discusses ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the seismic performance of concrete columns reinforced longitudinally with steel bars (referred to as UHS-WB bars) that have an ultrahigh strength and a low bond strength. Nine ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical procedure to assess the monotonic (envelope) force-deformation response (capacity curve) of unbonded post-tensioning precast concrete (UPT) walls with internal and external replaceable ...

Abstract: The objective of the present study is to contribute to the understanding of the seismic behavior and performance of reinforced concrete flexure-dominated walls when their boundaries are subjected to high compression. Typical ...
