Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with coupling beams are widely used as the primary lateral-load-bearing elements in high-rise building structures. Many researches have shown that there is uncertainty in the estimation of the effective stiffness o ...
In codes the drift capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is often estimated as a function of the failure mode and the aspect ratio. The empirical relationships are based on results from quasi-static cyclic tests on single URM walls, which were teste ...
Reinforced concrete coupled walls are a common lateral load resisting system used in multi-storey buildings. The effect of the coupling beams can improve seismic performance, but at the same time adds complexity to the design procedure. A case study couple ...
Existing loading protocols for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures are based on recordings from regions of high seismicity. For regions of low to moderate seismicity they overestimate imposed cumulative damage demands. Since structural capacities are ...
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...
Code design of slab-column connections to resist seismically induced drifts is currently based on empirical relationships for both moment and deformation capacity. The results of tests on slab-column connections are however sensitive to the conception of t ...
Capacity design is an important tool that enables controlled ductile response of structures when subjected to earthquakes. The need for specific capacity design requirements for walls coupled by deep coupling beams, however, is often overlooked and it is a ...
This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...
