[ 1 ] - The Effect of Spandrel Beam's Specification on Response Modification Factor of Concrete Coupled Shear Walls

Response modification factor (R factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to be considered in evaluating the performance of buildings during strong motions. This paper has tried to evaluate the response modification factor of concrete coupled shear wall structures with various length/depth ratios of spandrel beams. The effect of diagonal reinforcement of spandrel beam was also evaluated o...

[ 2 ] - Studying the influence of Geometric Characteristics and Arrangement of FRP Layers on Rehabilitation of Concrete Shear Walls

During recent years, the use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) as a desirable alternative for improving the behavior of lateral resisting system are known. There are various factors influencing the quality of such kind of rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate the influence of geometric characteristics and arrangement of FRP layers on rehabilitating of concrete shear walls.  A few rein...
