• “FAILURE MODE AND DAMAGE PROCESS in LIGHTLY REINFORCED CONCRETE WALLS”
• CONTENTS
• INTRODUCTION
• All over the world reinforced concrete structures are used as a construction method → earthquake prone countries like El Salvador are not the exception. To understand the behavior of this kind of structures subjected to seismic loads is of great value. In 2011, the Tohoku Earthquake left many lightly reinforced concrete walls severely damaged → buildings were demolished. The understanding of this kind of walls is limited → further research is necessary.

• ACTION PLAN
• Returning to El Salvador, I will continue working for my institution Also, the University UCA is planning to start research projects and they want me to take part of. Right now, UCA has a link between the government, but they are seeking for a partnership with private organizations.
• Thank you very much for your kind attention
