Seismic Retrofit of Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls Using Shape Memory Alloys
Squat reinforced concrete shear walls are stiff structural elements incorporated in buildings and other structures and are capable of resisting large seismic demands. However, when not properly designed, they are prone to shear-related brittle failure. To improve the seismic behaviour of these struc...
