Experimental assessment of low-aspect-ratio,reinforced concrete shear wall stiffness

Low-aspect-ratio, reinforced concrete shear walls are the primary lateral-load-carrying element in many structures designed for protective purposes. A review of the technical literature shows that considerable uncertainty exists regarding the elastic stiffness these structures will exhibit during seismic excitation. Because of this uncertainty, current design practice often employs a stiffness reduction factor. In an attempt to develop accurate information regarding the stiffness of these structures, 13 shear wall elements were tested statically; dynamically, with simulated seismic base excitations on a shake table; and with experimental modal analysis procedures. Results of these tests show that the shear wall's stiffness can be accurately estimated with a mechanics-of-materials analysis that accounts for shear deformation.

A regularized fiber element model for reinforced concrete shear walls

Reinforced concrete shear walls are used because they provide high lateral stiffness and resistance to extreme seismic loads. However, with the increase in building height, these walls have become slenderer and hence responsible of carrying larger axial and shear loads. Because 2D/3D finite element inelastic models for walls are still complex and computationally demanding, simplified but accurate and efficient fiber element models are necessary to quickly assess the expected seismic performance of these buildings. A classic fiber element model is modified herein to produce objective results under particular loading conditions of the walls, that is, high axial loads, low axial loads, and nearly constant bending moment. To make it more widely applicable, a shear model based on the modified compression field theory was added to this fiber element. Consequently, this paper shows the formulation of the proposed element and its validation with different experimental results of cyclic tests reported in the literature. It was found that in order to get objective responses in the element, the regularization techniques based on fracture energy had to be modified, and nonlinearities because of buckling and fracture of steel bars, concrete crushing, and strain penetration effects were needed to replicate the experimental cyclic behavior. Thus, even under the assumption of plane sections, which makes the element simple and computationally efficient, the proposed element was able to reproduce the experimental data, and therefore, it can be used to estimate the seismic performance of walls in reinforced concrete buildings.

Probabilistic development of shear strength model for reinforced concrete squat walls

In order to reconcile the larger scatter and avoid the biased estimate from deterministic predictions for the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) squat structural walls, a probabilistic shear strength model is developed in this paper based on the strut‐and‐tie model and the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) method. The strut‐and‐tie model is used to derive an appropriate function form for the probabilistic shear strength model, where four unknown model parameters (e.g. k₁, k₂, k₃ and k₄) are defined carefully to guarantee them having a clear physical‐based meaning so that the corresponding prior distribution ranges can be specified reasonably. Then, the GLUE method is adopted to estimate the posterior cumulative distribution of k₁, k₂, k₃ and k₄ with an available experimental database. Furthermore, to demonstrate the stability of the estimated posterior cumulative distribution, the sensitivity of three major aspects in GLUE method is investigated. Finally, based on the estimated cumulative distribution of k₁, k₂, k₃ and k₄, the developed probabilistic shear strength model is simplified as a mean prediction model and a standard deviation prediction model for facilitate using in engineering practice. Therefore, with the developed probabilistic shear strength model, not only can the squat structural walls be designed in confidence, but the accuracy of those deterministic predictions can be evaluated in a probabilistic manner.

钢筋混凝土剪力墙的变形能力及基于性能的抗震设计

影响钢筋混凝土剪力墙变形能力的主要因素包括高宽比r、轴压比n、边缘约束构件约束程度等.本文首先建立了钢筋混凝土剪力墙端部约束构件的配箍特征值λvw、轴压比n、高宽比r与剪力墙极限位移Δuw之间的关系,即λvw-n-r-Δuw关系,然后通过7个研究机构所进行的钢筋混凝土剪力墙试验对该关系进行了验证.在此关系的基础上,本文提出了钢筋混凝土剪力墙基于性能的抗震设计方法.根据本文方法,设计者可以在已知层间位移角需求θ及确定损伤指标Dw的情况下对剪力墙端部约束构件进行配箍.本文最后通过一算例详细介绍了该方法的设计过程.     

型钢混凝土剪力墙抗震性能影响参数研究

型钢混凝土剪力墙是一种广泛应用于高层混合结构中的剪力墙形式。本文采用通用有限元程序ADINA,以边缘构件含钢率为主要参数,对不同剪跨比的几组剪力墙承载力和变形能力进行了分析,并与考虑了剪力墙混凝土等级、轴压比、配筋率和边缘约束指标等参数影响的剪力墙性能进行了比较研究。结果表明,在高层结构中采用较高强度的混凝土是有利的,但剪力墙的轴压比需要严格限制,且墙体配筋率并不是提高其抗震性能的有效手段。在高层混合结构剪力墙中,通过边缘构件设置型钢可有效增加墙体延性,且边缘约束构件的约束指标可取0.32左右。     

Shake-table testing of a self-centering precast reinforced concrete frame with shear walls

The seismic performance of a self-centering precast reinforced concrete (RC) frame with shear walls was investigated in this paper. The lateral force resistance was provided by self-centering precast RC shear walls (SPCW), which utilize a combination of unbonded prestressed post-tensioned (PT) tendons and mild steel reinforcing bars for flexural resistance across base joints. The structures concentrated deformations at the bottom joints and the unbonded PT tendons provided the self-centering restoring force. A 1/3-scale model of a five-story self-centering RC frame with shear walls was designed and tested on a shake-table under a series of bi-directional earthquake excitations with increasing intensity. The acceleration response, roof displacement, inter-story drifts, residual drifts, shear force ratios, hysteresis curves, and local behaviour of the test specimen were analysed and evaluated. The results demonstrated that seismic performance of the test specimen was satisfactory in the plane of the shear wall; however, the structure sustained inter-story drift levels up to 2.45%. Negligible residual drifts were recorded after all applied earthquake excitations. Based on the shake-table test results, it is feasible to apply and popularize a self-centering precast RC frame with shear walls as a structural system in seismic regions.     

边缘约束构件对钢筋混凝土剪力墙抗震性能的影响

钢筋混凝土剪力墙是高层建筑中的主要抗侧力构件,边缘约束情况是影响剪力墙抗震性能的一个重要因素。为研究边缘约束构件对钢筋混凝土剪力墙抗震性能的影响,本文进行了三片边缘约束情况不同的钢筋混凝土剪力墙的低周反复试验,并对试验结果进行了分析,分析内容包括：破坏形态、水平承载力、位移延性系数、刚度退化、抗震耗能能力等方面。研究结果表明,合理地设置边缘约束能够扩大塑性破坏区域,提高试件的水平承载力,改善其抗震耗能性能。研究进一步发现,边缘纵筋配筋率在提高试件的水平承载力,改善其抗震耗能性能和刚度退化程度方面影响显著,而边缘配箍率对抗震性能的贡献在本次试验分析中表现得并不明显。

Seismic resistance of precast concrete shear walls

The earthquake resistance of stacked precast concrete simple shear walls found typically in Large Panel buildings of the cross-wall type is studied. Physical model testing on a small shaking table facility and analytical techniques are compared. Results of the testing of four models to failure portrayed the non-linear effects of rocking and shear slip that were assumed in several analytical studies but were never before measured experimentally. The physical model studies are supplemented with an independent mathematical analysis using a modified version of the dynamic, non-linear computer code Drain 2–D. Correlation of the analytical and experimental results show that the computer study can be used to predict the overall shear wall response. Results of the small scale model and the mathematical model studies indicate that the simple shear wall behaves in a non-linear manner, even for low magnitudes of base acceleration. Non-linear effects, usually concentrated in only one or two joints, reduced force levels and increased displacements. The four small scale models that were tested withstood high magnitudes of base acceleration without collapse.

Experimental behaviour of reinforced concrete walls under earthquake loading

The experimental work and first results of a recently completed experimental research programme investigating the response of reinforced concrete (RC) walls under earthquake (EQ) loading are discussed in this paper. A brief literature review is given as a prelude to the outline of research objectives. The tests are presented in two groups according to the scale of models. For the 1:5 scale tests, a modified similitude relation for small scale reinforced concrete dynamic modelling is developed. Based on the chosen model parameters, the design of the isolated RC walls is given. The test-rig set-up and the EQ input signals suitable for testing the model on the Imperial College shake-table are also discussed. Preliminary observations regarding stiffness, strength and failure modes of the RC wall models are given. Experimental results from the shake-table are compared to tests, at the same scale, under static cyclic conditions. For the scale 1:2–5 cyclic tests a different test-rig assembly is designed. The test results are given in three pairs of flexurally similar walls followed with general observations and discussion. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding experimental procedures and behaviour patterns of the tested models.

Initial stiffness of reinforced concrete structural walls with irregular openings

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with openings are the primary lateral‐load‐carrying elements utilized in many structures designed to resist earthquakes. A review of the technical literature shows that there is a considerable amount of uncertainty with regards to the elastic stiffness of these structures when subjected to seismic excitations. Current design practices often employ a stiffness reduction factor to deal with this uncertainty. In an attempt to develop additional information regarding the stiffness of these structures, this paper discusses an approach to determine the initial stiffness of RC structural walls with irregular openings and low aspect ratios. This approach would consider the effect of both flexural and shear deformations. As a part of this study, an analytical approach to determine stiffness was also developed and validated by comparing theoretical and experimental results obtained from six RC shear walls with irregular openings. Simple equations for assessing initial stiffness of RC structural walls with irregular openings are then proposed, based on these parametric case studies. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
