Capacity design procedure for the earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete (RC) structures is effective when actual member capacities do not greatly exceed the assumed design capacities. Moreover, RC members are expected to undergo large inelastic deformations for adequate seismic energy dissipation. Since flexural capacity and post-yield behavior of an RC member is largely controlled by steel ...

the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

Abstract In this study, the efficacy of strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams in shear by utilizing high-performance fiber-reinforced (HPFRC) was explored. The achieved epoxy bonding prefabricated HPFRC strips or plates onto beams. were strengthened two different schemes: (i) side (ii) vertical applied at critical sections. behavior configurations compared to non-shear and shear-reinforc...

In this research, using the Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT), a new truss based model is proposed to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams with diagonal reinforcement. The model is able to consider the effects of shear and axial forces and bending moment, simultaneously. The proposed model includes a nonlinear shear spring, an axial spring, two inclined truss member...

Abstract Earthquake leads to a disaster by creating massive damage on the surface of earth. A framed structure reduces impact an earthquake. In these types structures, shear wall plays vital role resisting horizontal effectively. The is flexural members that effectively resist displacement providing adequate stiffness structure. this work, behavior considering location in different under seismi...
