Elastic-plastic analysis of R/C coupled shear walls: The equivalent stiffness ratio of the tie elements
نویسنده
چکیده
Bar frame modelling is a popular method in coupled shear wall systems in structural design. In this process, determining the stiffness of the tie beams is important. In this study, results obtained by finite-element analysis of R/C coupled shear wall systems having several geometries in elastic-plastic space are considered. Using SPSS (Ver.5.0) statistical package program, an equivalent tie beam stiffness modification parameter is provided. The formula which defines the ratio between the plastic and elastic equivalent stiffness modification parameters is also given.

Improving Cyclic Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Elliptical Perforations
In this paper, the effect of elliptical shape openings was numerically compared to the case when circular openings were used in the steel panel shear walls. At first, the finite element model in ABAQUS was calibrated by experimental results, obtained from previous studies. Then, three steel shear panels with different sizes of elliptical openings were analyzed under cyclic loads, and the result...

Response modification factor (R factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to be considered in evaluating the performance of buildings during strong motions. This paper has tried to evaluate the response modification factor of concrete coupled shear wall structures with various length/depth ratios of spandrel beams. The effect of diagonal reinforcement of spandrel beam was also evaluated o...

Rebar fracture in boundary elements of lightly reinforced shear walls in recent earthquake motivated research on the minimum longitudinal reinforcement applicable to shear walls. These researches lead to change in the ACI 318-19 requirement for minimum longitudinal reinforcement in boundary elements. New ACI 318 requirement increase minimum longitudinal reinforcement ratio for boundary elements...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete shear walls have been used throughout the world as known resisting elements for the lateral wind and earthquake loads. They are mostly designed and constructed based on elastic calculations and therefore resulting in un-economical sections. In order to overcome this weakness, scientists have proposed different methodologies to account for the non linear behavior of...
متن کاملThe Performance of an Hexahedron C* Element in Finite Element Analysis
The performance of an 8-noded hexahedron C1* element in elasticity is investigated. Three translational displacements and their derivatives as strain in each direction are considered as degrees of freedom (d.o.f.’s) at each node. The geometric mapping is enforced using a C0 element with no derivative as nodal d.o.f.’s . The stiffness matrix of the element is also computed using a transformation...
