Performance Based Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Structures with Different Types of Shear Walls
Seismic rehabilitation provides existing buildings with more resistance to seismic activity, ground motion, or geotechnical failure due to earthquakes. Performance-based rehabilitation is a general concept through which the retrofitting criteria are defined regarding to performance objectives when the structural and nonstructural members are subject to different levels of earthquake hazards. In...
متن کاملSeismic Performance of Composite Shear Walls Constructed Using Recycled Aggregate Concrete and Different Expandable Polystyrene Configurations
The seismic performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) composite shear walls with different expandable polystyrene (EPS) configurations was investigated. Six concrete shear walls were designed and tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effect of fine RAC in designing earthquake-resistant structures. Three of the six specimens were used to construct mid-rise walls with a shear-span ra...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of Intermediate Beams in Steel Plate Shear Walls
This paper presents some preliminary results of an ongoing research whose objective is to investigate the seismic behavior of intermediate beams (i.e., the beams other than those at the roof and foundation levels) in multi-story steel plate shear walls (SPSWs). Of primary interest is the determination of the strength level needed to avoid the formation of in-span plastic hinges, a relevant prac...
متن کاملSeismic capacity rating and reliability assessment of wood shear walls
A modified version of the BRANZ procedure for lateral capacity rating of bracing walls is used to determine the sustainable lateral mass of a 910-mm wide ‘2x4’ wood shear wall. The key modifications involve: (1) the use of a multicriteria system identification method to determine a structural model that simultaneously fits test data from both cyclic testing and pseudo-dynamic testing; and (2) p...
متن کاملSeismic Displacement Demands for Hybrid Precast Concrete Shear Walls
This paper presents an analytical investigation on the peak lateral displacement demands of “hybrid” precast concrete panelized shear wall structures under seismic loading. The hybrid wall structure investigated uses a combination of mild [i.e., Grade 400 (U.S. Grade 60)] steel bars and highstrength unbonded post-tensioning (PT) strands for lateral resistance across horizontal joints. The analy...
