Application of Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Location of BRB for Reinforced Concrete Frame with Curtailed Shear Wall
نویسندگان
چکیده
The shear walls are essential seismic elements to increase buildings bearing capacity against earthquakes. In mid- and high-rise buildings, subjected predominant bending deformation under earthquakes, the responses in upper floors increase. order utilize appropriately, previous studies proposed install until a certain building level, referred as curtailed wall. However, frame structure without suffered significant during earthquakes compared lower stories. Therefore, objective of this study is present structural configuration for with by installing buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) reduce its Firstly, analysis accuracy was verified simulating experimental results four sets scaled frames tested on shaking table. Then, ten- twenty-story plane different heights were created, their nonlinear earthquake ground motions evaluated. genetic algorithm applied establish optimum BRB locations satisfy design criteria. It proved that using BRBs at specific can significantly improve response walls.

Application Problems of Anchor Dowels in Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall and Frame Connections
Strengthening of the existing seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is an important issue in earthquake prone regions. Addition of RC shear wall as infill or external walls into the structural system has been a commonly preferred strengthening technique since the Big Erzincan Earthquake occurred in Turkey, 1992. The newly added rigid infill walls act primarily as shear walls ...
متن کاملCost optimization of three-dimensional beamless reinforced concrete shear-wall systems via genetic algorithm
In this present work, a cost optimization has been done for r/c structural system by genetic algorithm method. In the optimization problem the shear-wall dimensions has been considered as design variables and it has been aimed at searching the optimum shear-wall dimensions that minimize total material cost of shear-wall. The constraints of structural optimization problem are constructed accordi...
متن کاملHysteretic Behavior of Conventionally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams in Reinforced Concrete Coupled Shear Wall
This paper presents the experimental results of four full-scale coupling beams in which only horizontal reinforcements are placed, without diagonal reinforcements, with the aim to develop reinforcement details for coupling beams used in connecting side walls in a wall-slab structural system. Each coupling beam specimen was designed according to the deep-beam design procedure that does not use d...
متن کاملSeismic Performance of Steel Plate-Reinforced Concrete Composite Shear Wall
In tall buildings the reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall is one of the predominant structural components used to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes around the world. Previous research demonstrated that shear walls displayed a sudden loss in lateral capacity due to the wall corner and web crushing in the plastic zone. In addition, it was found that large shear distortions in shear wall...
متن کاملOptimal Retrofit Design of Reinforced Concrete Frame with Infill Wall Using Fiber Reinforced Plastic Materials
Abstract—Various retrofit techniques for reinforced concrete frame with infill wall have been steadily developed. Among those techniques, strengthening methodology based on diagonal FRP strips (FRP bracings) has numerous advantages such as feasibility of implementing without interrupting the building under operation, reduction of cost and time, and easy application. Considering the safety of st...
