The Impact

An eight-storey reinforced concrete shear wall building located in Montréal and designed according to the 1995 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the Canadian Standards Association standard CSA-A23.3-94 is studied to evaluate the impact of new requirements for inclusion in new editions of the NBCC and CSA-A23.3. Static and modal analyses were conducted according to the 2005 NBCC (draft 2003) and CSA-A23.3-04 (draft 4) procedures, and three-dimensional dynamic inelastic time history analysis was performed using three earthquake records. The building is braced by four flat shear walls and three cores. Various estimates of the fundamental period of vibration based on empirical expressions presented in the literature or structural models with different stiffness assumptions were examined. The analysis also permitted the study of the displacement and force demand on the lateral load resisting system. It was found that the base shear from the 2005 NBCC is 29% higher than the 1995 NBCC value when code empirical formulae are used for the fundamental period of vibration.Key words: building, shear wall, inelastic seismic response, NBCC, CSA-A23.3 design of concrete structures.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the seismic level of protection afforded to reinforced concrete shear wall systems. The vulnerability and damage potential of a 30-storey building consisting of a coupled shear wall as well as noncoupled shear walls as lateral force resisting systems is evaluated. The structure, which is similar to an existing building designed and constructed in Vancouver, is designed in accordance with the 1995 National Building Code of Canada and detailed using the provisions of CAN3-A23.3-M94 (1994). Elastic analysis is performed using both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shell element models for lateral loading with and without the effects of torsion. Element design specifications are used to create moment curvature envelopes to describe the members (beam and wall) deformation characteristics. These characteristics are incorporated into the nonlinear pushover analysis and dynamic inelastic time history analysis. The level of protection investigation illustrates that the coupled and noncoupled shear wall systems exhibit excellent performance following excitations of two and three times the design level earthquake. Maximum interstorey drift and element damage levels are within the acceptable limits for life-safe performance.Key words: seismic, reinforced concrete, shear walls, coupling beams, performance, inelastic, dynamic, design.

A comparison is made, based on static and dynamic base shear calculations according to the National Building Code of Canada of 1980, for four types of simple structures, namely, uniform moment resisting frame structures, uniform ductile flexural wall structures, uniform reinforced concrete shear wall structures, and unreinforced masonry wall structures. It is shown that a significant discrepancy exists between the static and dynamic base shear values, depending on the type and the fundamental period of the structure. The causes for the discrepancy and the necessity to make static and dynamic base shears compatible are discussed.

In this paper, the time-history responses of a square plan two-story reinforced concrete prototype building, considering the elastic and inelastic behavior of the materials, were studied numerically. ABAQUS software was used in three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear dynamic analysis to predict the inelastic response of the buildings. Concrete Damage Plasticity Model (CDPM) has been used to model the inelastic behavior of the reinforced concrete building under seismic excitation. The input data included geometric information, material properties, and the ground motion. The building structure was designed only for gravity load according to ACI 318 with non-seismically detailing requirements. The prototype building was subjected to El Centro 1940 NS earthquake at different amplitudes (PGA=0.05g, PGA=0.15g, and PGA=0.32g). The elastic and inelastic responses of the 3D numerical model of the same building were evaluated. The differences between the elastic and inelastic displacements and base shear forces were analyzed. It was found from the results that base shear responses are significantly more sensitive to the numerical model of analysis than displacement responses. The evaluation showed that the base shear force and displacement responses of a two-story R.C. building subjected to severe earthquake excitation are very sensitive to the numerical model used whether it is elastic or inelastic.

Abstract The composite wall with encased steel braces (ESB wall) is a novel type of steel–concrete composite wall that consists of a steel braced frame embedded in reinforced concrete. This arrangement is supposed to enhance the seismic performance of the wall, as the steel columns encased in the boundary elements can increase the flexural strength of the wall and the steel braces encased in the web can increase the shear strength. ESB walls have seen use in super tall building structures constructed in regions of high seismicity. The ESB walls are commonly used on stories where the shear force demand is very high. Currently, no design guidelines exist for the design of ESB Walls in the Eurocode. More research is required before a distinct set of guidelines can be prescribed for the design of ESB Walls. The present research will investigate behavior of composite walls with encased steel braces (ESB walls). Time history analysis will be performed to examine the shear strength and stiffness of the ESB walls. In this study, two frames with three floors and five floors will be modeled in ABAQUS software. Then the X- shaped braces and inverted V brace is added to frames. Later, reinforced concrete shear wall will be added to braced frames, so the steel braces encased in the reinforced concrete shear wall. Time history analysis, on the braced frames will be done Compare and note with each other. The results of the study are in good agreement with those of previous studies. However, none of these studies examined the effect of using V- and X-shaped struts and shear walls simultaneously, nor did they examine which struts reinforce the structures more strongly against earthquake vibrations. This has led the study to examine the effect of these reinforcements under various earthquakes. In future studies, reinforced concrete structures can also be used in addition to steel structures, and the results can be compared. In addition, these braces can also be used in other parts of the building. To meet this objective, one can use the very important data provided in this thesis, and ultimately better and more accurate results can be extracted using this approach. The main aim of this thesis is to study the effect of increasing the number of floors on how to extend the stress on the building structure. To this end, the number of floors increased from three to five. Therefore, it can be concluded that an increase in the number of floors also more than 5 storey causes stress values, but these modes are quite consistent with the three- and five-storey buildings.

Buildings in south of Iraq were designed for gravity loads only. Recent studies showed that the Badra-Amarah fault at the Iraq-Iran boarder is an active fault and could suffer a major damage. Hence seismic evaluation of existing buildings is getting more importance. The objective of this paper is to assess the seismic performance of two reinforced concrete buildings with six floors each, one has a shear wall and the other has not. The concentrated plasticity with nonlinear time history is adopted for the analysis. The spectrum matching method is used to scale three time-acceleration records to the expected seismic level in the region.  Three different codes are used for the analysis, the International building code-2012, the Uniform building code-1997 and the Iraqi seismic code-2017. Comparison of results showed that IBC-2012 gave the most conservative results in displacements, number and performance of plastic hinges and base shear. The Iraqi code gave the least values within 60% for the base shear and 18-50% for drifts. As a conclusion, the analyzed buildings are a little beyond the elastic level according to the Iraqi code, beyond the immediate occupancy level according to the UBC-1997 and near the collapse prevention level according to IBC-2012.

In developing countries, the need for shelter, working area, shopping and entertainment centers is increasing due to the increasing population effect. In order to meet this need, it is necessary to turn to high-rise buildings. Significant damages have been observed as a result of insufficient horizontal displacement stiffness of high-rise buildings in major earthquakes in previous years. It is known that as the height of the structure increases, the displacement demand of the structure also increases. Since it is accepted that the structure will make inelastic deformation in the design of the structure, these displacements increase to very high levels as the number of stories increases. For this reason, damages can be much higher than expected. In order to limit the level of damage that may occur in high-rise buildings, the horizontal displacement of buildings is limited in many regulations in our age. This limitation is possible by increasing the rigidity of the structures against horizontal displacement. In recent years, the use of shear wall has increased due to the horizontal displacement limitation in the regulations. The use of shear walls in buildings limits the horizontal displacement. However, the choice of where the shear walls will be placed on the plan is very important. Failure to place the shear walls correctly may result in additional loads in the structure. It can also lead to torsional irregularity. In this study, a 10-storey reinforced concrete building model was created. Shear wall at the rate of 1% of the plan area of the building was used in the building. The shear walls are arranged in different geometric shapes and different layouts. The earthquake analysis of 5 different models were performed. Equivalent Earthquake Load, Mode Superposition and Time History Analysis methods were used for earthquake analysis. The results were compared and a proposal was made for the geometry and configuration of the shear wall.

On the 5th June 2015, an earthquake hit Ranau, Sabah with a magnitude of 6.0 that caused 18 casualties and several injuries are one of the examples that show Malaysia is not safe from any seismic event. Most of the structure in Malaysia was designed not to include seismic action.  Furthermore, an area that has a high density of population such as in the central region (Klang valley) and several main cities in Malaysia has less available land to build landed housing and uses high-rise apartments as an alternative. High-rise buildings that are normally having problems with soft story mechanisms and plan irregularity which could lead to severe damage when earthquakes happen. This study aims to observe the response of high-rise buildings when under different earthquakes in the presence of shear walls. To achieve this objective two models were modelled and analyzed by using ETABS software, the one with a shear wall and the one with no shear wall. The methods used in this study were the response spectrum method and time-history analysis. In the end, the parameters observed were base shear, story stiffness, story drift, and story displacement. The observations highlighted that the effect of earthquake intensities shows a significant effect. The acquired results indicated that the building with the shear wall is more resistant and strong structures as compared to buildings without shear wall when undergoing seismic analysis.

A proposed hybrid lateral load resisting system combining a moderately ductile steel moment resisting frame (SMRF) with Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) balloon-framed shear walls is investigated on 8, 12 and 16-storey case-study buildings using equivalent static, linear dynamic (modal), nonlinear static (push-over) and nonlinear dynamic (time history) analyses. First, a SMRF is designed using ETABS, then the hybrid structures are analysed in OpenSees. By adding the CLT shear wall to steel moment frame, the period of structure decreased and its stiffness increased. The time history analyses result revealed that by adding the CLT shear wall the maximum drift decreased, while the maximum base shear in hybrid structure slightly increased. The hold down uplift forces under earthquake records are reported and compared to each other. Using push-over capacity-curves, a ductility reduction factor of 3.6, an over strength factor of 1.57 and a seismic response modification factor of 5.67 are derived.

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.
