The Modified Flexibility Analysis (MFA), a technique for analyzing the shear wall assembly first proposed by Nelson et al. (1983), produced reasonable, conservative results which correlate well with test data. The method proves to be accessible to hand calculations and simple programing. Tables, ...
Mathematical calculations are considering different parameters like displacement of storeys at different floors, column width, and storey shear of specific columns. These results are verified using state of the art software (i.e. STAAD.Pro v8i). Time for the analysis for the different cross section...
Due to the minimal impact of the steel grade on the carbon emission factor of steel reinforcement, and the negligible effect of steel type on the emission factor, the carbon emission factor for steel reinforcement was uniformly taken as 1.451 kgCO2/kg in the calculations. 3.3.3. Model for ...
Urban residential buildings are undoubtedly the main building type in new and existing construction. In northern China, reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures are commonly used for urban residential buildings. The spatial designs of these buildings have similarities in terms of building ...
such that each wall contributed two load values to the calculations. The first cycle in each step is in bold text, while peak values for each wall are shown in red. The trends seen in these tables are similar to the trends seen prior in the hysteresis and backbone capacity plots. The ba...
which has a test frame with a capacity of approximately 60 t. As our initial calculations of the specimen capacity were close to this maximum value, a few options were considered to reduce the maximum required load. As the study focused on the flange contribution to shear strength, one choice...

They confirmed the distinct connection influence on the behaviour of CLT structures and suggested that initial slip values may essentially underestimate the actual wall deflections. It was further suggested that the application of vertical joints does not always improve the structural behaviour, as load-...
In order to meet the demands of building energy-saving in the new era, new precast concrete external-wall-insulation technology should be developed. In this study, a bending static test and numerical simulation were carried out to evaluate the influence of the thickness of inner concrete wythe ...
