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

Modelling shear-flexure interaction in equivalent frame models of slender RC walls

Experimental results for quasi-static cyclic tests on reinforced concrete (RC) walls have shown that shear deformations can constitute a significant ratio of the total deformations when the wall is loaded beyond the elastic regime. For walls, which form a stable flexural hinge at their base, the ratio of shear to flexural deformations remains approximately constant over the entire range of impo...

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...

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings

Quasi-static cyclic tests on reinforced concrete (RC) walls have shown that shear deformations can constitute a significant ratio of the total deformations when the wall is loaded beyond the elastic regime. For slender RC walls that form a stable flexural mechanism, the ratio of shear to flexural deformations remains approximately constant over the entire range of imposed displacement ductiliti...

Shear and Flexural Stiffnesses of Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls Subjected to Cyclic Loading

Seismic analyses of concrete structures under maximum-considered earthquakes require the use of reduced stiffness accounting for cracks and degraded materials. Structural walls, different to other flexural dominated components, are sensitive to both shear and flexural stiffness degradations. Adoption of the gross shear stiffness for walls in seismic analysis prevails particularly for the design...
