Seismic Vibrations

The reinforced concrete structures, not designed for seismic conditions, amid the past earthquakes have shown us the significance of assessment of the seismic limit state of the current structures. During seismic vibrations, every structure encountered seismic loads. Seismic vibrations in high rise building structure subjects horizontal and torsional deflections which consequently develop extensive reactions in the buildings. Subsequently, horizontal stiffness can produce firmness in the high rise structures and it resists all the horizontal and torsional movements of the building. Therefore, bracing and shear wall are the mainstream strategies for reinforcing the structures against their poor seismic behaviours. It is seen before that shear wall gives higher horizontal firmness to the structure when coupled with bracing however it will be another finding that in building model, which location is most suitable for shear wall and bracing to get better horizontal stability. In this study, a 15 story residential reinforced concrete building is assessed and analyzed using building code ACI 318-14 for bracing and shear wall placed at several different locations of the building model. The technique used for analysis is Equivalent Static Method by utilizing a design tool, finite element software named ETABS. The significant parameters examined are lateral displacement, base shear, story drift, and overturning moment.

The object of this article is to be able to simulate the behavior of reinforced and/or prestressed concrete beam’s section in the shear loading through a model allowing the evaluation of nonlinear strains caused by shear, while taking into account the real behavior of the materials. In this approach, we are often confronted with problems of modeling uncertainties linked to some insufficiencies of the mechanical model allowing to describe the physical phenomena in a realistic way. For that, it is necessary to use a reliability model making it possible to evaluate their probability of failure, by establishing failure curves according to the different transition zones of the limit state curve of the nonlinear behavior in the shear loading up to at section failure of reinforced and/or prestressed concrete beams. In this work, we also propose a coupling of the reliability method by response surface to carry out the reliability optimization on complex mechanical models, where the mechanical and reliability models developed have been implemented on the Fortran. This allows the estimation in an efficient way of the different reliability characteristics according to each transition zone from the limit state curve to the real behavior until failure in the shear loading.

The role of the degree of microstructure on the behaviour of clayey soils has been the focus of many studies. However, none so far have quantified the evolution of the shear strength parameters for a given soil for degrees of microstructure going from an intact condition to complete remoulding. In the present study, a series of compression triaxial tests have been performed on specimens of the naturally highly structured Saint-Jean-Vianney clay under the following conditions: intact, destructured by straining outside the limit state curve, and reconstituted and reconsolidated after complete remoulding. The results show that the limit state curve is influenced by the level of destructuration reached before testing, and moreover, that the shear strength parameters at large deformation are influenced by the level of destructuration at the beginning of the test. The compression tests infer that the soil seems to retain the memory of its initial microstructure, at least for consolidation volumetric strains up to 14%. The observed behaviour has implications for the understanding and modelling of natural clays; it also explains to some extent the difference in strength parameters used in stability analyses of embankments on soft clays and natural slopes in clay.Key words: clay, microstructure, destructuration, shear strength, large deformation shear strength, triaxial test.

Near Fault Earthquakes

The response of flexible structures with long period to near-fault earthquakes shows an imposed demand on these structures which exceeds their capacity. Also, the relationship between frequency content of earthquake and the main frequency of structure is a significant parameter to the response of structure. Therefore, the sensitivity of the response of structure to period of pulse and the lack of enough records for near-fault earthquakes with different amounts of period of pulse is the most important challenge of structural analysis. Of all methods for this analysis, proposed model by Agraval was used in this study. To achieve this goal, various ratios of period of pulse to main period of structure ( Tp/ T1) were considered, where the effect of higher modes on estimating displacement demands was assessed. Meanwhile, the distribution of shear forces for 6-, 12-, and 24-story reinforced concrete moment frames with steel shear wall was evaluated. The results showed that maximum displacement and force demands were obtained for different structures with Tp/ T1 = 1. Meanwhile, by increasing the number of stories, the effect of higher modes decreased and structures tended to fluctuate in first mode. Furthermore, the most effect of higher modes was obtained for shear force at the roof ( Vroof) and then base shear force ( Vbase), where displacement of roof ( Uroof) did not have any effect on the period of models.

In order to study the axial compression performance of the T-shaped multi-cavity concrete-filled steel tube shear wall, first, three specimens were designed to perform the axial compression test. Then three-dimensional finite element analysis by the ABAQUS software was used to obtain the axial bearing capacity of the shear wall with different parameters. According to the results of the finite element model, the computational diagram in the limit state was obtained. The diagram was simplified into the core concrete in the non-enhanced area that was not constrained by the steel tube and the core concrete in the enhanced area that was uniformly constrained by the steel tube. Finally, a new practical equation for calculating the axial bearing capacity of a multi-cavity concrete-filled steel tubular shear wall was deduced and proposed based on the theory of ultimate equilibrium. The calculation results of the proposed equation were in good agreement with the finite element results, and the proposed equation can be used in practical engineering design.

The results for monotonic (ramp load) and slow cyclic racking tests of timber shear walls are presented. The tests are part of an extensive experimental and analytical study to investigate the behaviour of timber shear walls subjected to earthquakes. The results of full-size shear wall tests show the important influence of the nail connection between the sheathing and the framing on the load-displacement characteristics of shear walls. The premise that the hysteresis for the shear wall is contained within an envelope defined by the monotonic load-displacement curve for the wall is confirmed. Also, the hysteresis is studied to determine the physical behaviour that causes the shape of the hysteresis to be dependent on the maximum displacement of the wall. Both the monotonic and cyclic racking behaviours of timber shear walls are established; and the performances of plywood and waferboard sheathed shear walls are compared. Key words: full-scale monotonic and cyclic tests, plywood, waferboard, timber shear walls.

Steel Plate Shear Wall

Abstract Shear Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is a lateral force resisting system that is usually used in high seismic regions. Opening can be accommodated by using coupled steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) where two or more SPSWs are placed adjacently and are connected by coupling beams. Maximum displacement, shear load capacity and energy dissipation are affected by the dimension of the coupling beams. The construction cost of the building can be reduced vastly by optimizing the size of the coupling beams where the capability of CSPSW to resist the earthquake is maximized. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine the behaviour of maximum displacement, shear load capacity and energy dissipation of the CSPSW when the width, depth and length of the coupling beams are varied. Fourteen CSPSW models were analysed by ABAQUS software, where the models were subjected to lateral cyclic loading as accordance to ATC24. Maximum displacement of the CSPSW was not affected by the dimensions of the coupling beams. Shear load capacity was increased as either the width or the depth of the coupling beam was increased, and achieved its maximum value when the length of the coupling beam was 1000 mm. The optimum width, depth and length of the coupling beam to maximize the energy dissipation of the CSPSW models were 200 mm, 1000 mm and 1000 mm, respectively.
