CONCRETE SHEAR WALL CONSTRUCTION
In Chile, design of reinforced concrete structures is performed according to the ACI318-95 Code. The shear wall design does not need to follow clauses 2 .6.6. to 2 .6.6.4, that refer to the design of boundary elements of the structural walls. Confinement reinforcement for vertical bars at wall ends or diagonal bars in coupling beams are rarely used.

Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Fiber-reinforced concrete is ideal for improving the durability and toughness performance of concrete and mortar. Fibers in concrete help reduce shrinkage cracks, increase strength, increase energy absorption and reduces dangerous spalling at high temperatures.
Reinforced Concrete - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
3.4.4.1 Reinforced concrete. Concrete reinforced with steel is as important in the development of large modern buildings as structural steel. In early 20th century United States the skyscraper was a steel-framed building whilst in Europe contemporary large buildings were more likely to be in reinforced concrete (Starrett, 1928, pp. 36, 51 ...

Buildings of this type can be found both in urban and rural areas of Chile. The main load bearing elements are masonry walls reinforced with vertical steel reinforcement bars placed in the hollow cores of clay masonry units (hollow clay tiles) or concrete blocks. Horizontal reinforcement bars are placed in horizontal bed joints.
Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Walls | NIST
Performance of Slender Reinforced Concrete Walls The 2010 Chile earthquake highlighted shortcomings in the design configuration of reinforced concrete structural walls. Many walls that were designed essentially in accordance with customary US practice, except for confinement detailing, exhibited out-of-plane buckling due to slenderness.
