This study addresses the critical need for sustainable architectural designs within the context of climate change and the significant role the built environment plays in greenhouse gas emissions. The focus of this paper is on understanding the influence of ...
Concrete use in buildings significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions. Floor systems constitute a major portion of the concrete in building structures, making them a prime target for material reduction. Conventional design methods to calculate streng ...

The vertical shortening of tall buildings is not negligible, and it is important to account for these deformations to minimize differential movement and ensure that the finished building is level. Compensation via superelevation is common in reinforced con ...
The first Panel Element Tester was conceived by Vecchio and Collins at the University of Toronto in the late 1970s. This apparatus allows for the mechanical testing of concrete elements under combined in-plane normal and shear stresses and provided importa ...

A growing body of research has shown that reversed cyclic shear loading of reinforced concrete (RC) causes effects that are not accounted for in monotonic behavioral models. Notable among these effects are a reduction in shear strength and significant plas ...
