High-rise reinforced concrete buildings have technical, economic and environmental advantages for high density development and they have become a distinctive feature for densely populated urban areas around the world. For this purpose, structural design of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings have become forward and particularly serviceability requirements gained more interest. Differential shortening of vertical members is one of the serviceability requirements; however, only a limited number of studies exist. In this study, a practical compensation method was proposed for the differential shortening of columns and shear walls in high-rise reinforced concrete buildings. In the proposed compensation method, vertical members were grouped and the total error was aimed to be minimized by penalizing the higher shortening differences in the groups to simplify the process of building construction. In order to validate the proposed method, a 32-storey high-rise building that was built in Izmir Turkey was investigated considering both the construction sequence and time-dependent effects as shrinkage and creep. Vertical shortening of columns and shear walls in the tower part of the building were calculated. Uniform-grouped compensation method and the proposed penalized errors compensation method with using L1-norm and L2-norm were applied for differential shortenings of columns and shear walls with considering different numbers of member groups. The magnitude of errors for each compensation method was presented and evaluated. Results of the numerical study reveal that the proposed penalized errors compensation method was capable of determining the compensation errors by minimizing the maximum errors efficiently.

AbstractUnder strong earthquakes, reinforced concrete (RC) walls in high-rise buildings, particularly in wall piers that form part of a coupled or core wall system, may experience coupled axial tension–flexure loading. In this study, a detailed finite element model was developed in VecTor2 to provide an effective tool for the further investigation of the seismic behaviour of RC walls subjected to axial tension and cyclic lateral loading. The model was verified using experimental data from recent RC wall tests under axial tension and cyclic lateral loading, and results showed that the model can accurately capture the overall response of RC walls. Additional analyses were conducted using the developed model to investigate the effect of key design parameters on the peak strength, ultimate deformation capacity and plastic hinge length of RC walls under axial tension and cyclic lateral loading. On the basis of the analysis results, useful information were provided when designing or assessing the seismic behaviour of RC slender walls under coupled axial tension–flexure loading.

Shear Cracking

Deteriorated concrete cover, e.g., spalling or delamination, especially when it occurs at the web of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam within the shear span, can reduce the shear capacity of the beam. Patching of this deteriorated area may be the best option to recover the shear capacity of the beam affected. For this purpose, unsaturated polyester resin mortar (UPR mortar) has been formulated. This research aims to investigate the efficacy of UPR mortar in limiting the shear cracking and so restoring the shear capacity of the deteriorated RC beam. The investigation is carried out by an experimental and numerical study. Two types of beams with a size of 150 × 250 × 1000 mm were prepared. The first type of beams was assigned as a normal beam. The other was a beam with a cut off in the non-stirrup shear span, which was eventually patched with UPR mortar. Two reinforcement ratios were assigned for each type of beams. The results show that UPR mortar is effective to hamper the propagation of diagonal cracks leading to increase the shear failure load by 15–20% compared to the reference (normal) beam. The increase of shear strength with the use of UPR mortar is consistently confirmed at various reinforcement ratios.
