Investigation of vertical reinforcement termination in lightly reinforced concrete walls
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Future Shake-table testing of a concrete building incorporating low-damage technologies
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Numerical modelling of a concrete wall-steel frame building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
