Load – Deformation responses of slender structural steel reinforced concrete walls

Simulation of Nonlinear Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls

In this study the performance of three macro-models in predicting the nonlinear response of different walls is investigated. The macro-models used are: Equivalent Beam Model, Multiple Vertical Line Element Model and a shear panel model developed by Massone et al. (2006). The walls are classified as slender, intermediate, and squat walls according to their shear-span ratio. First, three single w...

Modelling Shear-flexure Interaction in Equivalent Frame Models of Slender Reinforced Concrete Walls

Shear Strength of Slender Reinforced Concrete Beams without Web Reinforcement

This paper attempt to predict the shear strength of high strength concrete beam with different shear span of depth ratio without web reinforcement. The large data base available has been clustered and a linear equation analysis has been performed . The prepared models are functions of compressive strength , percentage of flexural reinforcement and depth of beam. The proposed models have been va...

Uniaxial Tension Test of Slender Reinforced Early Age Concrete Members

The present study aims to obtain the tensile properties of early age concrete based on a uniaxial tension test employing RC slender members. First, the paper shows that concrete strain is equal to the strain of rebar at the mid-span of the RC member. The tensile Young's modulus and the strain capacity of early age concrete are estimated using strain measurements. The experiment indicated that t...

Structural Behavior of Axially Loaded Composite Concrete-steel Plate Shear Walls

composite concrete-steel plate shear walls are the most critical resisting structural members that resist lateral and axial loads. This type of wall consisting of two steel faceplates presenting the outer skin, infill concrete and shear connectors which are used to provide the composite action of the steel faceplates with infill concrete in order to increase the strength and to reduce the local...
