Coupled Shear Wall

Flexural stiffness or effective width of floor slab acting as coupling beam is very important for the analysis of Coupled Shear Wall (CSW) systems. New generation of high performance concretes provide an alternative to conventional concrete to enhance the performance of coupling slabs. This research investigates the flexural behaviour of coupling slabs incorporating Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) compared to conventional Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC). The high strain capacity and low crack width makes ECC an ideal material for coupling slab. Non-linear coupling action of ECC slabs is investigated experimentally with small-scale models having variable geometric parameters under monotonic loading. The performance is judged based on moment-rotation response, flexural stiffness/effective width, deflection, cracking, strain development and failure modes. Design charts for flexural stiffness/effective width of coupling slabs are presented in pre-cracking/cracking/post-yielding stages. CSW systems with ECC are found stronger and ductile than their SCC counterparts confirming the viability of constructing such structures.

Resilient Structure

Structure with replaceable devices is a type of earthquake resilient structure developed to restore the structure immediately after strong earthquakes. Current researches focus on one type of the replaceable device located in the structural part that is most likely to be damaged; however, plastic deformation would not be limited in a specific part but expand to other parts. To concentrate possible damage in shear wall structures, combined form of replaceable devices was introduced in this article. Based on previous studies, combined form of replaceable coupling beam and replaceable wall foot was used in a coupled shear wall. Influences of the dimension and location of the replaceable devices to the strength and stiffness of the shear wall were investigated through numerical modeling, which was verified by experimental data. Performance comparison between the shear walls with one type and combined form of replaceable devices and the conventional coupled shear wall was performed. In general, the shear wall with combined form of replaceable devices is shown to be better energy dissipated, and proper dimensions and locations of the replaceable devices should be determined.

The paper explores the failure mode, failure mechanism and deformation capacity of medium-high and low-rise shear walls. The experimental results from load-tests of 5 high-performance concrete shear walls with 1.5 and 1.0 shear span ratio indicate that the shear walls deformation capacity benefits from several bar rings like a chain along boundary element in plastic hinge zone, showing that shear wall deformation capacity design is reliable to a certain extent, in that the plastic hinge zone often influences the damage level of shear walls. With the damage at different stages, the paper divides the performance of shear wall structure into three kinds: serviceability, life-safety and collapse-prevention. Accordingly, it is proposed that the performance controlling indicators for shear wall structures is composed of storey drift ratio and the rotation of plastic hinge zone, and also provides consult values for each performance level.

Mechanics Characteristics

The high-rise concrete residential market has been a gradually urban mainstream in recent years, and frame-shear wall structure is more used for high-rise residential structures now. This kind of structure has the advantage that the combination of frame and shear wall make the space free and flexible, and therefore the whole structure has considerable rigidity. The structure can not only satisfy the needs for people living in comfortable, but also has good dynamic and static load bearing capacity. This paper analyzed the mechanics characteristics of the structure and summarized the two kinds of main failure modes of shear wall and frame structure in earthquake. On this basis, the main principles are put forward to improve the seismic behavior of the shear wall. And further some of specific measures and suggestions which can improve the seismic performance for the frame-shear structure are introduced.

This paper addresses the seismic behavior of pseudo strain hardening cementitious composite (PSH2C) coupling beams with different failure modes in hybrid coupled shear wall. Test variables included the ratio of steel coupling beam strength to beam-wall connection strength. The results show that Specimen PSH2C-SCF exhibits a better stable behavior in comparison with Specimens PSH2C-SBVRT and PSH2C-FCF.
