This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...

NSF and NEES funded large scale low aspect ratio (height/length) reinforced concrete shear wall testing is underway at SEESL. NSF and NEES funded large scale low aspect ratio (height/length) ...

The study approaches the size effect problem from three aspects, culminating in a proposed correction formula that demonstrates high accuracy in predicting the seismic performance of CFRP-reinforced ...

Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

Surprisingly positive results from the first of four large-scale tests of reinforced-concrete link beams with embedded structural steel sections have further opened the door to more-constructible ...
