Abstract: There is a lack of established guidelines for the seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) walls with nonplanar shapes such as L and T. Inelastic responses of such walls may be governed by biaxial flexure irrespective ...

Abstract: A step‐by‐step modeling and analysis procedure for nonlinear finite element analysis of complete constructed facilities is presented. A comprehensive microcomputer‐based software that was developed for this study is briefly ...

Abstract: The effects of different approaches to rating reinforced concrete slab bridges are explored by using an existing bridge as an example. Nonlinear finite‐element analysis (NLFEA) has been conducted on a field‐calibrated model ...
