On the Modeling and Analysis of Brittle Failure in Existing R/C Structures Due to Seismic Loads

Brittle failure is often observed in older reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings that have been designed prior to the 1980s following an earthquake event. Since this has ramifications on any subsequent repair protocol, it is important to quantify the remaining strength capacity for this class of build...
