Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) are composite materials that have found acceptance in current construction systems due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, ease of installation. This study presents an experimental analytical on the potential these improve seismic behavior low-rise shear walls. Two walls with similar geometry were tested up failure under pseudostatic lateral cyclic loads. The first wall was a steel-RC wall, compliant...
Contemporary structures can resist earthquakes as they deform and dissipate energy. However, during strong ground motions, these sustain significant concrete damage overall permanent deformations. Therefore, it is of great benefit if earthquake-resisting energy, yet mitigated damage. This paper illustrates the findings an experimental study focused on mitigation reduction residual displacements in reinforced (RC) shear walls. In this study, cyclic properties two innovative walls—a slender a...
