Dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. These walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. In this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used as the primary lateral-force-resistingsystem for tall buildings. As the tools for conducting nonlinear response history analysis have improved and with the advent of performance-based seismic design, reinforced concrete walls and core walls are often employed as the only lateral-force-resisting-system. Proper modeling of the load versus deformation be...

The history of the development Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) shear walls and current status today’s research as well future prospects are comprehensively collated. analysis process conclusive results present-day domestic international on UHPC highlighted. load displacement curves, hysteresis curves skeleton lines ultra-high performance concrete under different experimental loads collat...

This paper presents an experimental program dealing with the shear strengthening with FRP systems of URM walls built with concrete and clay units. Ten concrete and five clay masonry panels, strengthened with FRP composites in the form of laminates and rods, and stainless steel, were loaded along the wall diagonal to observe their shear performance. The dimension of the concrete masonry panels w...

To evaluate the seismic performance of pre-cast concrete shear wall with vertical reinforcements spliced by two different grout ways, quasi-static tests of two concrete shear walls holed by prefabricated corrugated pipe and one concrete shear wall holed by drawing out the pipe were tested. The test results showed that the wall holed by prefabricated corrugated pipe was basically the same as the...

In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...
