Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between Median Values and between Aleatory Variabilities for Different Definitions of the Horizontal Component of Motion
Katrin Beyer,Julian J. Bommer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the ratios of different horizontal component definitions in relation to the specification of seismic input for dynamic structural analyses, highlighting the importance of consistency between the component definition used to derive the elastic design-response spectrum and the way that biaxial dynamic loading input is prepared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasi-static cyclic tests and plastic hinge analysis of RC structural walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of quasi-static cyclic tests on six reinforced concrete (RC) walls performed at the ETH Zurich and show the importance of the reinforcement content and the ductility properties of both the boundary and web reinforcement for the deformation behaviour of the walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection and scaling of real accelerograms for bi-directional loading: A review of current practice and code provisions
Katrin Beyer,Julian J. Bommer +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study is to shed some light on a number of aspects involved when selecting and scaling records for bi-directional analysis and post-processing results of such analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Poor Seismic Performance of Concrete Walls and Design Implications
TL;DR: The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand revealed improved structural response resulting from historical design advancements, but poor structural performance due to previously identi cation as discussed by the authors, due to previous identici cation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasi-Static Cyclic Tests of Two U-Shaped Reinforced Concrete Walls
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-static cyclic testing of two U-shaped walls at the structural engineering laboratories of the ETH Zurich was conducted to evaluate the bending behavior in different directions and therefore the walls were subjected to a bi-directional loading regime.
