Two specimens of nonductile reinforced concrete (RC) frame (ND-1) and nonductile RC frame retrofitted by corrugated steel plate shear walls slotted with columns (ND-2) are established by finite element. These specimens have same dimensions and steel skeletons. Finite element models had been verified by the existing experimental results. The hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, ductility, and stiffness curves of Specimen ND-1 and Specimen ND-2 are compared. The results show that the reinforcement effect is significant. Twenty-four models are built to study the seismic behavior on different influence parameters. The parameters are slit width, thickness of corrugated steel plate shear walls, concrete strength of nonductile RC frame, and boundary conditions of corrugated steel plate shear walls at slotted parts. The results indicate that the strength is declined with the increase of slit width. With the increase of thickness and concrete strength, the strength and stiffness are enhanced. The strength is larger with the boundary than without. Slit width and thickness have an important impact on the stiffness. Concrete strength and boundary conditions have little impact on stiffness. The strengthened nonductile RC frames have enough ductility.

We doubt whether the monolithic precast concrete structure could be designed as the cast-in-place structure in high seismic intensity area. To solve the puzzle, the 1/5 scaled monolithic precast concrete structure model and cast-in-place structure model were designed and tested by shake table. Comparative analysis between them was made to better understand their seismic behavior. Based on the experimental results, the failure pattern and mechanism were different, which was concentrated damage in coupling beam and then extended to shear walls of CIPS, and the weak connections presented cracks between precast elements besides the damage coupling beam of MPCS. The natural frequency of MPCS possessed a typical feature for the weakness of connections, which was the initial one greater than that of CIPS and decreased fast after the first waves with PGA of 0.035 g. Acceleration amplifying factors presented variation trend under the different earthquake waves. The distribution of seismic response presented linearity along the height of models in plastic stage and turned into nonlinearity later for severe damage. In general, the MPCS and CIPS had similar seismic responses, except typical characteristics. And they were proven to have better seismic performance without collapse under the high-intensity earthquake waves.

Abstract This study aims to investigate seismic behavior of LRB and FPS type base isolated models considering torsional irregularity due to distance between stiffness center of isolators and mass center of superstructure for low- and mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with no shear walls. Nonlinear behavior of structural members was also considered to be able to observe probable yielding of structural members in superstructure due to the torsional irregularity. 528 different nonlinear time history analyses of 3-dimensional 3, 5, 7 and 9-story models subjected to 11 pairs of earthquake records were performed. The results indicate that FPS type isolators tend higher displacement demands while LRB type isolators are more sensitive to torsional effects. Torsional irregularity coefficient values of LRB models with 20% eccentricity are 47% higher than symmetrical models in terms of averages. Since significant part of the demands is absorbed by the isolator system, the remaining seismic demands for the superstructure is relatively low. Besides, the outcomes underline the careful selection of number of ground motion records in dynamic analysis as mentioned in the literature. While some studies in the literature indicate that torsional effects due to 10% or 20% eccentricity have significant role on building response, they used very limited building models subjected to a few earthquake records. The use of four different RC frame building model with LRB and FPS type isolators subjected to 11 pairs of ground motion records do not strongly support the abovementioned studies in literature. Therefore, more research is needed in this field.

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.

Steel Coupling Beam

Coupled shear walls are widely used in high rise buildings, since they can not only provide efficient lateral stiffness but also behave outstanding energy dissipation ability especially for earthquake-resistance. Traditionally, the coupling beams are made of reinforced concrete, which are prone to shear failure due to low aspect ratio and greatly reduce the efficiency and ability of energy dissipation.  For overcoming the shortcoming of concrete reinforced coupling beams (RCB), an innovative steel coupling beams called two-level-yielding steel coupling beam (TYSCB) is invented to balance the demand of stiffness and energy dissipation for coupled shear walls. TYSCBs are made of two parallel steel beams with yielding at two different levels.  To verify and investigate the aseismic behaviour improvement of TYSCB-coupled shear walls, two 1/3 scale, 10-storey coupled shear wall specimens with TYSCB and RCB were tested under both gravity and lateral displacement reversals. These two specimens were designed with the same bearing capacity, thus to be easier to compare. The experimental TYSCB specimen demonstrated more robust cyclic performance. Both specimens reached 1% lateral drift, however, the TYSCB-coupled shear wall showed minimal strength degradation. Additionally, a larger amount of energy was dissipated during each test of the TYSCB specimen, compared with the RCB specimen. Based on the experimental results, design recommendations are provided.
