Lecture

Failure Mechanisms of RC Walls: Ductile vs. Brittle

Description

This lecture covers the failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) walls, focusing on ductile and brittle failure modes. It discusses flexural and shear failures due to rupture or crushing of longitudinal bars and concrete. The instructor explains the importance of ductility in preventing catastrophic failures and the role of reinforcement in enhancing the seismic performance of RC walls.
