Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Lateral Load Response of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Constructed on Clay Soil with Weak Zones [PDF]
Buildings in some conditions suffer from structural issues caused by foundation soilinhomogeneity. The main cause of an inhomogeneity in soil profile is the presence of voidsor very weak large pockets. The present paper deals with the structural behavior

Impact of Suction on the Near Surface Lateral Soil Response using Centrifuge Modeling [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that unsaturated soils lead to greater lateral pile capacity. This study aims to experimentally assess how suction stress affects the lateral response of piles in unsaturated cohesionless soil.
