Damping is a desirable property of a structure from the earthquake resistant point of view. Thus, in dynamic analysis of structures, the modeling of damping plays a crucial role in achieving the safe response of structure. ...

Rapidly increasing urbanisation and subsequently ascending shortage of land in the urban areas has pushed the design engineers to switch to the utilisation of the vertical spaces in the form of high-rise buildings and ...

 Concrete is a versatile construction material used in many engineering structures. The design of concrete structures requires a thorough understanding of their material properties under various loading conditions. Several ...

Shear walls have been conferred as a major lateral load resisting element in a building in any seismic prone zone. It is essential to determine behavior of shear wall in the preelastic and postelastic stage. Shear walls ...

Shear wall has been considered as a major lateral load-resisting element inmultistoried building located in wind- or earthquake-prone zone. The behavior ofshear wall under various loading conditions has been the subject ...
