Electromagnetic Modeling of Shielding Effectiveness of Reinforced Concrete Walls

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

Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness Evaluation For Materials

The theory of electromagnetic shielding is based on the waves equations describing the behavior of electromagnetic field in material. The proposed approach consist in a PSpice model using transmission line model to simulate the attenuation introduced by a material characterized by the macroscopic parameters ε, μ, σ. To verify the data obtained through PSpice simulation, a wave-guide-based measu...

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...
