Journal of Asian Architecture and Building EngineeringThe introduction of reinforced concrete structures to China occurred in the late 19th century via Shanghai and other cities. While Shanghai has been extensively researched in terms of its reinforced concrete structures, Suzhou, located near Shanghai and ...

A reinforced concrete building in Wellington
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1969 The building which is to be studied is an apartment building on a one acre site in Wellington's Oriental Bay. It was a design and build venture of Wilkins and Davies Development Co. Ltd. Registered Architects were employed for the design and the author's firm as consulting engineers with normal professional responsibilities for design and supervision ...

Pushover Analysis of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Buildings [PDF]
, 2015 For the past decade or more, the structural engineering profession has been using the nonlinear static procedure (NSP) or pushover analysis. Modeling for such analysis requires the determination of nonlinear properties of each component in the structure,

An mass ratio of permanent loads to variable loads of reinforced concrete buildings
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building EngineeringEnvironmental and resource crises necessitate sustainable development, yet construction lags in material conservation and carbon mitigation. Extensive use of reinforced concrete results in excessive permanent loads and larger building self-weight ...
