Seismic response of half-scale seven-storey RC systems with torsional irregularities: blind prediction
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Past earthquakes have highlighted vulnerabilities to damage or collapse of building structures due to torsional response. While methodologies to capture torsional demand due to strength and stiffness irregularities have ...
Influence of failure mode uncertainty on the collapse capacity of RC components
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Acceptance criteria for reinforced concrete components are selected based on the assumption that the failure mode of a component is deterministic. This paper makes a case suggesting that such an assumption may be untrue ...
