g732d79406d	Brian James Smith	Design, Analysis, and Experimental Evaluation of Hybrid Precast Concrete Shear Walls for Seismic Regions	2013		.txt	text/plain	356	11	27	The results demonstrate that hybrid precast walls can satisfy all of the requirements for special reinforced concrete shear walls in high seismic regions with improved performance, while also revealing important design, detailing, and analysis considerations to prevent undesirable failure mechanisms. The primary goal of the dissertation is to investigate the seismic behavior and design of hybrid walls with practical details, while specifically focusing on the classification of the system as 'special' reinforced concrete shear walls according to the requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI).	cache/g732d79406d.txt	txt/g732d79406d.txt
