Numerical Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Walls in Nuclear and Industrial Structures Under Seismic Loading

This year marks ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the following Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. This accident has created a critical need to quantify the seismic response of such critical structures under different levels of seismic hazard. Most seismic-related research studies have been conducted on reinforced concrete walls employed in conventional buildings; however, such walls in nuclear and industrial …
