Abstract: The seismic behavior of ductile high-strength RC (HSRC) columns that are constructed in regions of high seismicity is well understood due to a number of experimental studies conducted over the last few decades. However, ...

Abstract: Drywall partition wall systems have become one of the most common forms of construction for partition walls in multistory buildings around the world. Drywall partitions are usually attached to the surrounding structural ...

Abstract: This study aimed to quantitatively develop realistic quasi-static loading protocols for simulating bidirectional cyclic actions and axial load variation on building columns in a way that is representative of an actual ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) impact-resistance barriers, such as rockfall barriers, often consist of a cantilever RC wall, which is expected to experience flexural bending under impact loading to resist the associated design ...
