This study describes a slender reinforced concrete shear wall experimental test under in-plane cyclic lateral load, and the development of an analytical model which uses the fiber method approach to consider hysteretic nonlinear constitutive material models behavior. The shear wall tested had bending behavior, since the amount of longitudinal reinforcing bars produced weak bending capacity compared to the shear strength. The analytical model tries to represent global and local behavior of the wall, and its calibration is based on reaching experimental parameters like area enclosed and secant stiffness on every loop. After the analytical model was calibrated, the relation between some performance points and damage states observed during the test is studied.

Based on the experiment of eight reinforced concrete T-shaped columns under low cyclic load, the factors which affect bearing capacity and seismic behavior, such as limb length, axial load ratio, stirrup ratio and the arrangement of longitudinal bars, etc., are analyzed. Tests results show that the bearing capacity of the columns increases, but the ductility is decreased with an increase of axial load ratio. The bearing capacity of T-shaped column increases when the web gets longer, while its deformability and ductility decrease. Besides, increase of stirrup ratio and longitudinal bars in the end of the web also have effect on the ductility of the columns.

Negative Moment

To study the behaviour of multistorey building frames under gravity and severe earthquake conditions a reinforced concrete portal frame was constructed. The beam was subjected to constant vertical loads while a cyclic lateral load was applied to the unit. Negative moment plastic hinges formed at the column faces while the positive moment hinges were located in the span. The rotations generated by each inelastic displacement accumulated. This placed high rotational demands on the plastic hinges, which reduced the overall ductile behaviour compared with that observed in typical beam-column sub-assembly tests. The high rotations caused the beam to grow in length.

Experimental Findings

A Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is a structural element of expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) core sandwiched between two oriented-strand boards (OSB). This research proposes SIPs in low-rise residential construction (i.e. houses and low-residential building), replacing the traditional conventional joist floors and stud walls. This research investigates (i) developing expressions for flexural, compression, monotonic racking and cyclic lateral load capacities of SIPs as compared to the joist/stud wall construction. In this study, the proposed design of SIPs was based on (i) generally established theory for analysis, (ii) assessment of full-scale SIP panels by a loading tester, and (iii) computer modeling using the finite-element modeling. The research program included (i) testing SIP walls in axial compression and bending, (ii) racking and cyclic testing on SIP shear walls, (iii) development of finite-element computer models of the tested SIP panels and verifying those using experimental findings, (iv) correlation between experimental findings and design equations for strength and serviceability available in the literature and wood design Standards. Modification factors of these equations were developed to allow structural engineers to design SIP panels in residential construction more economically reliably. Experimental results showed that SIP panels are being “as good as” the conventional wood-framing of identical sizes, with respect to flexural, compressive, racking and cyclic loading. Also, results showed SIP walls have a greater ability to dissipate energy under racking and cyclic loading that the stud wall system. Therefore, SIP walls can be used so efficient in seismic zones. Based on cyclic lateral load test results, the values of ductility-related force modification factor (Rd) for stud wall, short SIP wall and long SIP wall were calculated as 8%, 22% and 14% lower than the NBCC required value for anchored wall (Rd = 3.0), respectively. In addition cyclic lateral load test results showed that the values of over-strength-related force modification factor (Ro) for stud wall, short SIP wall and long SIP wall were observed to be 17%, 20% and 14% higher than the recommended value of NBCC (Ro = 1.7) for anchored wall, respectively. So, it is concluded that the over-strength factor indicates a confident reserve of resistance in interconnected wall segments.
