Shear Demand

A displacement based method for the seismic design of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings of regular shape is presented. For preliminary design, approximate estimates of the yield and ultimate displacements are obtained, the former from simple empirical relations, and the latter to keep the ductility demand within ductility capacity and to limit the maximum storey drift to that specified by the codes. For a multi-storey building, the structure is converted to an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system using an assumed deformation shape that is representative of the first mode. The required base shear strength of the system is determined from the inelastic demand spectrum corresponding to the ductility demand. In subsequent iterations a pushover analysis for the force distribution based on the first mode is used to obtain better estimates of yield and ultimate displacements taking into account stability under P–Δ effect. A multi-mode pushover analysis is carried out to find more accurate estimates of the shear demand.

Displacement Based

The Seismic design of structure has conventionally been force based. Displacement is the major factor for the damage rather than force. The alternative procedure for seismic design, which becomes more popular, is performance based design method. Displacement is global parameter of performance based design method. Direct displacement based design method has been used for seismic design of structure. The paper attempts to design moment resisting RC-frame using Displacement based design method and Forced based design method. 15-storey building with shear wall has been taken for parametric study. The parameter like base shear and lateral load distribution are taken for the study. It is observed that base shear of RC building calculated by DDBD is less compared to FBD.

Malaysia is situated at Sunda plate which has geographic advantage in seismic zone. However, an earthquake occurred in Sabah, east of Malaysia without a warning in 2015. This scenario raised the question regarding the structural performance of high-rise buildings in Malaysia in response to seismic activity. This study is to analyze the effects of the shear wall on seven RC buildings by using pushover analysis. This pushover analysis is a simple approach where a building is subjected to increasing horizontal lateral loads until the building fails. SCIA Engineer software is used to model three different designs of seven storeys buildings are model in accordance with the Eurocode 8. The pushover analyses are carried out on three models, pushover curves (base shear vs. roof displacement) are plotted, and they are compared to explore both elastic and inelastic properties of the building response to the seismic action. The frame model without shear wall can resist less base shear. The plane frame model also approaches maximum allowable displacement of 60 mm earlier as compared to the other two models. Therefore, the high-rise buildings with shear wall design are highly recommended for the lifelong seismic resistance of reinforced concrete buildings.

The paper first reviews the different approaches taken by codes of practice in their treatment of ductility demand by the use of force modification factors. The way in which structural overstrength affects structural response and the factors influencing overstrength are discussed. Nonlinear analyses of reinforced concrete structures, designed by the Canadian codes, demonstrate the significance of structural overstrength on the ability of the structures to resist lateral load without collapse. The manner in which structural overstrength can be accounted for in the design of reinforced concrete structures is presented. Key words: seismic design, detailing, reinforced concrete, ductility, overstrength, base shear.

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.

Abstract The structural design under seismic loading has been for many years based on force methods to consider the effects of energy dissipation and elastoplastic behavior. Currently, displacement-based methods are being developed to take into account elastoplastic behavior. These methods use moment-curvature relationships to determine the ductility capacity of a structural element, which is the deformation capacity of the element before its collapse. The greater the plastic displacement or rotation a structural member can achieve before it collapses, the more energy it is capable of dissipating. This plastic displacement or rotation capacity of a member is known as the member ductility, which for reinforced concrete members is directly related to efficient concrete confinement. This study investigates at which extents transverse reinforcement detailing influences reinforced concrete column ductility. For this, a bridge located in Ecuador is modeled and analyzed, and its ductility evaluated considering several cases of axial loading and concrete confinement levels. After the performed displacement-based analyses, it is verified whether the response modification factor defined by AASHTO is adequate in the analyzed case.

The Brooklyn–Queens Expressway (BQE), Interstate 278 between Atlantic Avenue and Washington Street in Kings County, is an approximately 1,500-m-long multiple-level highway reinforced concrete structure that was built in 1948. It is an important transportation link in the New York City metropolitan area and serves a daily traffic volume of 122,000 vehicles. The longest portion of the BQE consists of elevated one-, two-, and three-level cantilever structures. They are built into the hillside of Brooklyn Heights in successive levels, set back to provide light and air to three lanes of traffic in each direction. They have a unique configuration consisting of rigid frames supporting the roadways with long cantilevers, serving also as retaining walls supporting the hillside beneath adjacent brick buildings. The reinforced concrete portions of the BQE were modeled with finite elements that explicitly represented the concrete and reinforcement and used nonlinear material models. The displacement performance was determined in cyclic pushover analysis that predicted concrete cracking and reinforcing bar yielding. This performance was compared with recently developed displacement performance criteria to establish displacement capacities. The displacement demands were determined by time history analyses using nonlinear models. The methods and criteria that were used for evaluation of the BQE structures are described, and conclusions that may be applicable to future seismic evaluations using the displacement-based approach are provided. Other project challenges are also discussed, including the seismic effects of adjacent buildings and subway tunnels.

Buckling Restrained Braced Frames

Adding braces to moment frames is considered to be quite an efficient technique for increasing the global stiffness and strength of the structure. It has not only been used in steel moment frames, but also in reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames in recent years. It certainly can increase the energy absorption capacity of structures and also decrease the demand imposed by seismic ground motions. Steel braces are anchored firmly to boundary beams and columns. They are modeled as truss elements and increase earthquake resistance of the building. Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) in which members yield under both tension and compression without significant buckling have been used in recent years in order to ensure the desired seismic performance of special concentrically braced frames. BRBFs are similar to the special concentrically braced frames in that seismic accelerations are resisted by a building-frame members and diagonal braces whereas the design procedure is different. BRBs should be designed to permit ductile yielding both in compression and tension. In this paper, flat-slab RC building with two different configurations of buckling restraint braces (BRBs) is studied. The buildings have 4-storey with 5 bays in both X-and Y-directions and have been designed according to Turkish Specification of Reinforced Concrete Design (TS 500). In order to explore overall behavior up to failure and lateral load resisting capacities for these buildings, nonlinear static analyses have then been performed using SAP 2000-V14.1. Pushover analysis under constant gravity loads and monotonically increasing lateral forces during an earthquake until a target displacement is reached is generally carried out as an effective tool for performance based design. The major outcome of a pushover analysis is the capacity curve which shows the base shear vs. the roof displacement relationship and represents the overall performance of the building. The results of the analyses are presented in terms of capacity curve and energy dissipation.
