A challenging prototype building having irregularly placed shear walls in plan has been designed and tested on the AZALEE shaking table at the TAMARIS laboratory in CEA/Saclay. The research project, called ENISTAT, was funded by the SERIES project via Transnational Access to the CEA/Saclay ...
Use of shear walls in RC buildings is one of the most commonly used strategies for earthquake mitigation. To avoid torsion in buildings, shear walls must be placed symmetrically in plan. In this paper, a five-storey RC building located in seismic zone-V is considered with four shear walls....
Fig. 1. Comparison of hysteretic behavior of three types of RC walls, namely, (a) conventional shear wall, (b) PT shear wall, and (c) PT shear wall with EDR [4]. The self-centering idea stemmed from the rocking concept, explicitly used in designing the “stepping” rail bridge over ...
In the present study, a multi-story RC building, square in plan and assumed to be located in a seismically active city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was laterally stiffened with the shear walls of different thickness, height, configuration, and opening location. The building was then ...
Rehabilitation of a high-rise coupled shear wall system in a 56-storey residential reinforced concrete building (Tehran Tower), based on nonlinear dynamic ... SUMMARYTehran Tower is a 56-storey reinforced concrete tall building consisting of three wings with identical plan dimensions each ...
The paper investigates the effects of openings in shear wall on seismic response of structures. For parametric study 6 and 12 storied 7x3 bays apartment buildings with typical floor plan of 35mx15m and floor height of 3m with different openings size and location in shear walls were modeled in...

Reinforced concrete structural walls (RCSWs) are one of the most efficient lateral force-resisting systems used in buildings, providing sufficient strength, stiffness, and deformation capacities to withstand the forces generated during earthquake ground motions. Identifying the failure mode of the RCSWs ...
In this project, to improve the local behaviour of coupling panels that are regularly located in spine walls, and definitely have been recognized as the most vulnerable structural elements, making use of steel plates that are connected to concrete members by chemical anchors has been used as the...
