Dynamic analysis of tall reinforced concrete walls designed with minimum vertical reinforcement
Deng, Tianhua; Henry, Rick (2023-04-19)Analysis of tall walls subjected to the earthquake ground motions highlights the amplified dynamic moment response at the mid-height due to the higher mode effect. The amplified moment demand may result in unexpected ... -
Future Shake-table testing of a concrete building incorporating low-damage technologies
Henry, Rick; Rodgers, Geoffrey (2021-04-14)Implementation of low-damage buildings has been rapidly increasing with a range of alternative structural components, devices, and technologies available. In order to achieve low-damage outcomes the entire building needs ... -
Investigation of vertical reinforcement termination in lightly reinforced concrete walls
Deng, Tianhua; Henry, Rick (2021-04-14)Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are effective lateral force-resisting components commonly implemented in tall buildings. Recent studies have investigated the impact of minimum vertical reinforcement limits on the ... -
Numerical modelling of a concrete wall-steel frame building
Pascua, Claire; Henry, Rick (2021-04-14)Buildings that use concrete walls together with steel frames have become increasingly common in Christchurch, with around 35% of post-earthquake buildings using such mixed-material structural systems. This rapid shift in ... -
Numerical modelling of reinforced concrete walls with minimum vertical reinforcement contents
Deng, Tianhua; Henry, Rick (2020-04-22)Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are effective lateral force-resisting components that are commonly implemented in tall buildings. Recent studies have investigated the impact of minimum vertical reinforcement ... -
Seismic strengthening of RC walls using FRP to prevent axial failure
Li, Zhibin; del Rey Castillo, Enrique; Henry, Rick (2023-04-19)Reinforced concrete (RC) walls with insufficient compressive strain capacity at the boundary region are vulnerable to premature axial failure, limiting the drift capacity. A solution to strengthen these deficient RC walls ... -
Shake-table test of flexural RC beams subjected to different levels of repair
Miura, Kota; Hogan, Lucas; Henry, Rick; Elwood, Ken; Maeda, Masaki; Nagai, Tomoki; Akiya, Riho (2024-04-09)Typically, damaged reinforced concrete (RC) building components are fully repaired to achieve the highest performance recovery. However, this repair objective may not necessarily be essential to achieve building performance ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
Yang, Qun; Henry, Rick; Lu, Yiqiu (2021-04-14)Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ...
