Steel–concrete composite shear wall offers a favourable lateral strength and deformation ductility for seismic applications while significantly shortening the project schedule through eliminating use of formworks taking advantage modular construction methodology. This paper presents fibre-based modelling technique simulation cyclic nonlinear response walls by existing reinforced concrete steel ...

The conventional strengthening strategy on the connection between the steel pile cap and reinforced concrete footing requires a series of complicated processes such as the distribution of reinforcing bars, their anchorage into concrete, and the usage of shear keys. This study investigates the structural performance of steel pile caps strengthened with newly proposed perfobond shear connectors s...

The addition of a rocking structural system will soften the connection between foundation and superstructure help beam-column connections to become softer than typical ones. These structures, with systems, follow elastic gap opening mechanism seismic response. Post-tensioned prestressed tendons dampers are used in systems enable structure return its initial position (self-centering) dissipate e...
