Therefore, to counter these effects, it has become necessary to come up with ways which will not only help in counteracting bu...
متن کاملConcrete Shear Wall Construction
Buildings with cast-in-situ reinforced concrete shear walls are widespread in many earthquake-prone countries and regions, such as Canada, Chile, Romania, Turkey, Colombia, the republics of the former Soviet Union, etc. This type of construction has been practiced since the 960s in urban regions for mediumto high-rise buildings (4 to 35 stories high). Shear wall buildings are usually regular in...
