Experimental behaviour of reinforced concrete walls under earthquake loading
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental work and first results of a recently completed experimental research programme investigating the response of reinforced concrete (RC) walls under earthquake (EQ) loading are discussed.
Stiffness and Damping Properties of a Low Aspect Ratio Shear Wall Building Based on Recorded Earthquake Responses
TL;DR: An investigation into the structural properties and seismic responses of a low aspect ratio shear wall building, which has construction similar to typical nuclear plant structures, has been performed using actual recorded earthquake motions.

Analysis and tests on small-scale shear walls. FY-82 final report
TL;DR: The Phase-I experimental program was completed during FY 1982 as mentioned in this paper, and the results of quasistatic (monotonic and load-cycling) tests, sinusoidal vibration tests, and simulated earthquake tests conducted on small-scale, reinforced-concrete shear walls are presented in this report.
Seismic Category I Structures Program: Final report, FY 1983-84
TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained from a series of simulated seismic tests on scale models of a prototypical Category I nuclear power plant auxiliary building, representing a reinforced concrete, diesel generator building, were compared.
