Abstract: Nowadays, steel shear walls are widely used as a seismic lateral resistant system all over the world. In this paper, a parametric study is presented to calculate the ratio of length to height (L/H) using numerical methods. ...

Abstract: Usually, the damage to structural members is not the same during earthquakes. As a result, the collapse times of members would be different from each other. So, one or a couple of stories would collapse sooner than others. ...

Abstract: This paper aims to study the influence of novel macro encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) on the mechanical and thermal properties of concretes. Thermal energy storage aggregates (TESAs) were prepared using vacuum ...
