In order to discuss the effect of different concrete strength on the seismic behavior of the L-shape steel reinforced concrete (SRC) short-pier shear wall , this article analyze three L-shape steel reinforced concrete short-pier shear walls of different concrete strength with the numerical simulation software ABAQUS, revealing the effects of concrete strength on the walls seismic behavior. The results of the study show that the concrete strength obviously influence the seismic performance. With the concrete strength grade rise, the bearing capacity of the shear wall becomes large, the ductility becomes low, the pinch shrinkage effect of the hysteresis loop becomes more obvious.

This paper presents results of a numerical investigation on the nonlinear seismic behavior of a reinforced concrete system made of truncated coupled shear walls (CSWs) and a frame. The objective of the study is twofold: (a) examine the seismic behavior of CSW–frame systems with setbacks and (b) verify the adequacy of the National Building Code (NBC) as far as the design of such systems. The study considers two types of CSWs, coupled and partially coupled, two Canadian seismic zones, 4 and 6, six different levels of setbacks, and 10 historic seismic records encompassing a wide range of frequency content. Results of the study show that the CSW–frame system with no setback offers a satisfactory seismic behavior with regards to the sequence of plastification and the ductility demand. For the truncated systems, the NBC recommendations that the static method is not adequate is justified. Also, in the presence of setbacks, the columns show a higher degree of plastification with a possibility of formation of plastic mechanism (soft story). The ductility demand is also higher and can exceed the accepted practical limit in certain cases.Key words: coupled shear walls, frame, reinforced concrete, setback, seismic behavior, code.

Distributed Reinforcement

The behavior of reinforced concrete walls that exhibit the shear mode of failure is studied, through the results of an experimental program that included the test of 26 full-scale specimens subjected to cyclic horizontal displacements of increasing amplitude. Test parameters were the aspect ratio of the walls, the amount of vertical and horizontal distributed reinforcement, and the compressive strength of concrete. The results include the cracking shear strength, the maximum shear strength, the drifts associated to these loads and the drift associated to a collapse limit state for each of the specimens tested. Conclusions are drawn concerning the deformation capacity, the energy absorption, the dissipation characteristics and the strength deterioration after maximum strength shown by the walls and the influence of vertical distributed reinforcement on the seismic behavior of walls.
