Effect of Preliminary Selection of RC Shear Walls’ Ductility Level on Material Quantities

Abstract According to the National Building Code of Canada, the seismic force resisting systems (SFRS) of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are classified based on their ductility level as being ductile, moderately ductile and conventional construction systems. The selection of the ductility level...
