2087) Stress Distribution in Reinforced Concrete Walls Under Shearing Force

Simulation of Nonlinear Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls

In this study the performance of three macro-models in predicting the nonlinear response of different walls is investigated. The macro-models used are: Equivalent Beam Model, Multiple Vertical Line Element Model and a shear panel model developed by Massone et al. (2006). The walls are classified as slender, intermediate, and squat walls according to their shear-span ratio. First, three single w...

Numerical Analysis of the ElectromagneticShielding Effect of Reinforced Concrete Walls

prediction method of drying shrinkage crack in reinforced concrete walls

because thin plate reinforced concrete members such as walls and slabs are greatly influenced by the drying shrinkage, cracks can occur in these members due to the restraint of the volume change caused by drying shrinkage. therefore, the control of cracking due to drying shrinkage is very important in building construction that the thin plate members are frequently used. however, few researches...

investigation on diagonal reinforced concrete shear walls behavior under cyclic lateral load using finite element method

buildings with wall or frame-wall systems are more effective against earthquake forces and sustain less damage than buildings which their lateral resistance is solely depends on frames. four reinforced concrete (rc) structural wall specimens were subjected to cyclic loading using finite elements method with abaqus software in order to study influence of diagonal web reinforcement. the research ...

High impact force attenuation of reinforced concrete systems

This paper presents the application of smart control technology to reinforced concrete systems for high impact force attenuation. The smart reinforced control system is developed through the integration of reinforced concrete beams, smart control devices, sensors, and signal processors. Various combinations of input and output signals are applied to the smart reinforced concrete beams: impact f...
