...). The system of contra exural points established in this way divides the shear wall system into a number of individual wall components, which may have beam stubs on one or both sides (Fig. 1(b 3. The need to design for ductile behaviour of spatial shear wall structures if they are to survive strong earthquake...

... ductile moment-resisting connections for precast concrete frames, primarily for seismic applications. The methods that have been proposed are often technically complex and dif cult to implement. This paper presents the results of tests done on a connection prototype, which was conceived with simplicity...
