Column Data
The column data comprise of 311 experimental results as given in our ASCE JSE article, with circular or octagonal cross sections and spiral or circular hoops. Three types of failure mode such as flexure, flexure-shear, and shear are noted in the experimental results: 217 failed in flexure, 50 failed in flexure-shear, and 44 failed in shear.
Shear Wall data
We assembled a comprehensive database of 393 experimental results for shear walls with various geometric configurations . In the database, the number of specimens with flexure , flexure-shear , shear, and sliding shear failure is 152, 96, 122, and 23, respectively.Â
Database consists only of one-story, one-bay reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular or non-rectangular (barbell or flanged) cross sections. Of all the specimens, 238 of them have a rectangular cross section, 95 have a barbell type cross section, and 60 have a flanged cross section.Â
Beam column Joints
We assembled and extensive experimental data from 504 experimental tests of beam-column joints. All of which exhibited either non-ductile joint shear failure prior to beam yielding or ductile joint shear failure after beam yielding. In the database, 186, and 318 specimens, failed in joint shear prior to member yielding (J failure mode), and joint shear after beam yielding (BJ failure mode), respectively.
