Shear walls optimization in a reinforced concrete framed building for seismic risk reduction

چکیده
Seismic hazards represent a permanent threat to buildings. The paper argues that risk-oriented approaches provide an interesting solution account for the long-term resilience of buildings, both design new structures and rehabilitation existing ones. proposed research draws upon standard definition risk as function vulnerability, hazard exposure develop optimization-based methodology appraisal buildings in seismic conditions. allows identify optimum layout thickness shear walls reinforced concrete frame, based on target performance. This is achieved through coupling evolutionary computing environment with object-oriented structural analysis tool, involving its native Application Programming Interface (API). latter automate search wall configuration solution. validated Beichuan Hotel building Old (China), heavily affected by 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. evidences adoption leads reduction about 80% compared as-built scenario, additional benefits from financial functionality perspective.

Effect of Unreinforced Masonry Infill Walls on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures
Unreinforced Masonry infill walls (URM) are commonly used in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structures as interiors and exteriors partition walls. Although they usually are not considered in the structural analysis and design, their influence on the seismic performance of the framed structures is significant. A common practice in the modern and old RC buildings is to remove the URM walls i...
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...
متن کاملA Macro-model for Nonlinear Analysis of 3D Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls
Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...
متن کاملSimulation of Nonlinear Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls
In this study the performance of three macro-models in predicting the nonlinear response of different walls is investigated. The macro-models used are: Equivalent Beam Model, Multiple Vertical Line Element Model and a shear panel model developed by Massone et al. (2006). The walls are classified as slender, intermediate, and squat walls according to their shear-span ratio. First, three single w...
متن کاملSeismic Performance of Steel Plate-Reinforced Concrete Composite Shear Wall
In tall buildings the reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall is one of the predominant structural components used to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes around the world. Previous research demonstrated that shear walls displayed a sudden loss in lateral capacity due to the wall corner and web crushing in the plastic zone. In addition, it was found that large shear distortions in shear wall...
