Rc Frame Structures

This paper explores the development of a method that is useful for design of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures to resist earthquakes. The substitute structure method, originally proposed in the 1970s, makes an analogy between viscously damped linear and hysteretic response for the purpose of estimating maximum displacement. The evolution of the method is retraced in order to emphasize its unique reliance on experimental results, which are needed to establish rules for assignment of substitute linear properties. Recent dynamic test results are used to extend significantly the calibration of the method, which furnishes design loads on the basis of drift and damage control.

In Wenchuan Earthquake, masonry-infilled frames have the quite critical failures. In this paper, the reason of the failure phenomenon is analyzed and the influence of the infilled wall to performance of the frame is highlighted. An improved three-strut model for masonry-infilled frame structures is presented. Then, two RC frame specimens, which are modeled by the presented three-strut model and force-based beam-column element combined with fiber section considering compression-bending coupling in Opensees, are analyzed. The analytical results agree well with the experimental results. It is shown that the presented three-strut model is sufficient to simulate the performance of the infilled wall.
