Abstract:
Two basic characteristics of reinforced concrete structures play an important role in determining response to strong ground motions. They are the changes in (a) stiffness and (b) energy dissipation capacity. Both can be related to the maximum displacement.

Slender sheer walls in multistory buildings are discussed in this paper and answers are given to such questions as "Why do we need them?" and "What do we know about their design?". Also discussed are the historical development of the use of shear walls, their performance in earthquakes of the past 10 years (both good and bad), and finally, the available design information and our future needs in the area of design of shear walls for strength, stiffness and ductility, as well as needs in the area of analysis for the dynamic response of shear wall structures.

If structural survival of large seismic disturbances is to be assured, brittle failure modes due to shear, anchorage and local instability must be suppressed.

Results of tests on eight specimens representing low-rise shear walls with boundary elements are reported and analyzed. . .The test program was designed to determine the effect of load resversals. Also, one specimen was repaired and retested.

An overview of the earthquake problem is presented. How earthquakes occur, the resulting ground motions, effects of site conditions, reponse of structures, performance of concrete buildings and recent design improvements are discussed.
