Abstract: In this work, a new self-centering shear wall with disc spring devices (SCSW-DSD) was developed and experimentally verified. The proposed SCSW-DSD was a combination of a reinforced concrete (RC) wall and two disc spring ...

Abstract: Cyclic loading tests were conducted on self-centering reinforced concrete (RC) walls with disc spring devices (SC-RCW-DSD), and results confirmed that these walls had sufficient energy dissipation and satisfactory ...
