Performance of reinforced concrete buildings during the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake, and seismic design and construction practise in Turkey
TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of reinforced concrete buildings collapsed or were heavily damaged during the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck northwestern Turkey on August 17, 1999, and the elastic acceleration response spectra from the recorded motions were comparable with the elastic design spectra specified in the current Turkish seismic code.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings in the 22 February Christchurch (Lyttelton) earthquake
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe immediate observations of damage to reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, which was a particularly severe test for both modern seismically designed and existing non-ductile RC buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective Stiffness of Reinforced Concrete Columns
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the experimental response of concrete columns to assess existing and proposed models of the effective stiffness of reinforced concrete columns subjected to lateral loads and proposed a new procedure that explicitly accounts for deformations due to flexure, shear, and anchorage-slip.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling failures in existing reinforced concrete columns
TL;DR: Experimental research and post-earthquake reconnaissance have demonstrated that reinforced concrete columns with light or widely spaced transverse reinforcement are vulnerable to shear failure, and... as mentioned in this paper.
