This paper presents a numerical approach to model the complex failure mechanisms that define the ultimate rotational capacity of reinforced concrete beams. The behavior in tension and compression is described by a constitutive ...

A diagnosis and rehabilitation study of a reinforced concrete structure is presented in this paper. The Public building was corstructed in 1939, located in marine environment, distant less than I km of the coastal border, ...

In Chile, most reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have a shear wall configuration, which in a large majority have performed well during recent earthquakes. However, a brittle failure was observed in RC walls in few buildings ...

This research aims to obtain envelopes of the ductility and shear demands in reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings subjected to ground motions. These envelopes could be used in the future to provide design recommendations ...

The development of an analytical model to predict the inelastic seismic response of reinforced concrete shear-wall buildings, including both the flexural and shear failure modes is presented. The use of shear-wall buildings ...
