Cyclic behavior of braced concrete frames: Experimental investigation and numerical simulation

RC shear walls have been widely used as the main lateral-load resisting system in medium and high-rise buildings because of their inherent large lateral stiffness and load resistance. But, in general, the energy dissipating capacity of RC shear walls is not very good and it is found that using the b...
