Seismic performance of mid-rise thin concrete wall buildings lightly reinforced with deformed bars or welded wire mesh

•Analytical evaluation of seismic performance of two thin RC wall buildings.•One building reinforced with welded-wire mesh, the other with deformed bars.•Reinforcing steel fracture is the dominant failure mode of the building with WWM.•Drift limit exceedance is the failure mode of the building reinf...
