Damage to reinforce concrete (RC) structural walls by two earthquakes in 2010 Chile and 2011 Christchurch of New Zealand showed that commonly used RC walls might not fail in the expected ductile response but the failure could possibly be initiated by out-of-plane buckling of the RC walls. The rece...
