Abstract:2Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls can render excellent lateral stability and ductility to medium to high-rise buildings, but are generally subjected to very high axial compression loading, which can reduce the inherent ductility.A comprehensive statistical analysis with 474 sets of experimental data was conducted to evaluate and quantify the effect of the axial compression ratio (ACR) on the structural performance of RC structural walls. The stipulated limits on the ACR and the methods of evaluation u… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
