The present paper treats the free vibration problem of the masonry wall strengthened with thin composite plate by viscoelastic adhesive layer. For this goal two steps are considered in the analytical solution. In the first one, an efficient homogenisation procedure is given to provide the anisotropic properties of the masonry wall. The second one is dedicated to purpose simplified mathematical models related to both in-plane and out-of-plane vibration problems. In these models, the higher order shear theories (HSDT's) are employed for a more rigours description of the shear deformation trough the masonry wall and the composite sheet. Ritz's method is deployed as solution strategy in order to get the natural frequencies and their corresponding loss factors. The obtained results are validated with the finite element method (FEM) and then, a parametric study is undertaken for different kinds of masonry walls strengthened with composite sheets.

Steel coupling beam in reinforced concrete (RC) coupled shear wall system is a proper substitute for deep concrete coupling beam. Previous studies have shown that RC coupled walls with steel or concrete coupling beam designed with strength-based design approach, may not guarantee a ductile behavior of a coupled shear wall system. Therefore, seismic performance evaluation of RC coupled shear wall with steel or concrete coupling beam designed based on a strength-based design approach is essential. In this paper first, buildings with 7, 14 and 21 stories containing RC coupled shear wall system with concrete and steel coupling beams were designed with strength-based design approach, then performance level of these buildings were evaluated under two spectrum; Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE). The performance level of LS and CP of all buildings were satisfied under DBE and MCE respectively. In spite of the steel coupling beam, concrete coupling beam in RC coupled shear wall acts like a fuse under strong ground motion.

The use of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall with concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) shear wall has aroused widespread attention in recent years. A new shear wall, named SFRC shear wall with CFST columns, is proposed in this paper, which makes use of CFST column and SFRC shear wall. Six SFRC shear wall with CFST columns specimens were tested under cyclic loading. The effects of test parameters including steel fiber volume fraction and concrete strength on the failure mode, strength, ductility, rigidity and dissipated energy of shear wall specimens were investigated. The results showed that all tested shear wall specimens exhibited a distinct shear failure mode. Steel fibers could effectively control the crack width and improve the distribution of cracks. The load carrying and energy dissipation capacities of specimens increased with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction and concrete strength, whilst the ductility of specimens increased with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction and the decrease of concrete strength.

The novel form of composite walling system consists of two skins of profiled steel sheeting with an in-fill of concrete. Such walling system can be used as shear elements in steel framed building subjected to lateral load. This paper presents the results of small-scale model tests on composite wall and its components manufactured from very thin sheeting and micro-concrete tested under monotonic and cyclic shear loading conditions. The heavily instrumented small-scale tests provided information on the load-deformation response, strength, stiffness, strain condition, sheet-concrete interaction and failure modes. Analytical models for shear strength and stiffness are derived with some modification factor to take into account the effect of quasi-static cycling loading. The performance of design equations is validated through experimental results.

In this work, a mixed beam approach is performed to identify the transverse shear behavior of thin-walled composite beams with closed cross-sections. The analytical model includes the effects of elastic couplings, shell wall thickness, and torsion warping. The distributions of shear flow across the section as well as the shear correction coefficients are obtained in a closed form in the beam formulation. The influence of transverse shear deformation on the static behavior of closed cross-section composite beams is also investigated in the analysis

In order to improve the deformation capacity of the high-strength concrete shear wall, five high-strength concrete shear wall specimens confined with high-strength rectangular spiral reinforcement (HRSR) possessing different parameters, were designed in this paper. One specimen was only adopted high-strength rectangular spiral hoops in embedded columns, the rest of the four specimens were used high-strength rectangular spiral hoops in embedded columns, and high-strength spiral horizontal distribution reinforcement were used in the wall body. Pseudo-static test were carried out on high-strength concrete shear wall specimens confined with HRSR, to study the influence of the factors of longitudinal reinforcement ratio, hoop reinforcement form and the spiral stirrups outer the wall on the failure modes, failure mechanism, ductility, hysteresis characteristics, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity of the shear wall. Results showed that using HRSR as hoops and transverse reinforcements could restrain concrete, slow load carrying capacity degeneration, improve the load carrying capacity and ductility of shear walls; under the vertical force, seismic performance of the RC shear wall with high axial compression ratio can be significantly improved through plastic hinge area or the whole body of the shear wall equipped with outer HRSR.

본 연구의 목적은 H-Pile과 벽체가 합성하여 거동하는 합성 지하벽의 내력 및 구조적 거동을 해석적으로 파악하고 구조성능을 평가하여 다양한 형태의 응력조건에 대한 거동예측 방법을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 유한요소 범용 프로그램인 ATENA를 이용하여 H-Pile, 콘크리트 벽체, 스터드볼트 연결부 등에 대한 모델링방법을 설정하고 기 실험된 합성지하벽 실험체들에 대한 비선형 해석을 실시하였다. H-Pile과 콘크리트 벽체를 연결하는 스터드볼트에 의해 전달되는 전단 및 축응력을 접촉면 요소로 모델링하여 비선형 해석을 실시한 결과, 비록 초기강성은 해석결과가 다소 높게 나타났지만, 실험결과와 해석결과가 좋은 대응을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this paper was to discuss the seismic performance of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete shear wall with replaceable friction dampers at the feet of the wall. The hysteretic characteristics of five wall specimens were studied by pseudo-static loading tests. The results showed that the damage of the specimens was concentrated on the friction dampers, and the energy consumption capacity was increased while making up for the defect of low ductility of FRP reinforced wall specimens. And the repairability of the wall after earthquake was improved. Finally, a calculation method of initial stiffness of shear wall with replaceable dampers was proposed.

본 연구의 목적은 전단경간비에 따른 합성지하벽의 거동을 실험적으로 연구하고 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ADINA를 활용하여 합성지하벽 (Composite Basement Wall, CBW)의 비선형 거동의 예측이다. 특히 각 층 바닥 부근과 같이 콘크리트가 압축응력상태일 때의 합성벽의 거동을 연구하였다. 특히 강재와 콘크리트가 접촉되는 부분의 모델링 방법에 따른 해석방법의 적합성을 검토하고자 하였다. 콘크리트 벽체부분이 압축응력상태에 있는 합성지하벽의 거동을 이해하기 위하여 합성지하벽에 대한 실험을 실시하고 ADINA 프로그램을 이용하여 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 해석의 편의를 위하여, 철근은 별도의 독립 요소로 모델링하지 않고, 콘크리트에 등분포되어 콘크리트와 함께 거동하는 것으로 하고 모든 요소는 소성거동을 표현하기 위하여 이선형 모델로 하였다. 강재와 콘크리트의 접촉면과 관련해서는 접촉면의 연결조건에 따라, AGO, SEGO-T 그리고 SEGO-NT로 모델링하여 해석을 실시한 뒤 각 조건에 따른 응력흐름과 집중정도를 관찰하고 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 연구결과, 합성지하벽은 전단경간비가 비록 1에 가깝더라도, 강재의 소성변형에 의해 충분히 연성적인 거동을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 이와 같은 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 ADINA 프로그램을 이용하여 콘크리트와 강재 및 스터드볼트의 비선형특성을 고려하고 접촉면 요소로서 강재와 콘크리트의 접합면을 모델링하여 해석한 결과 접촉면연결과 모든 절점공유 옵션을 사용한 모델을 적용할 경우, 실험결과와 근사한 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The novel form of composite walling system consists of two skins of profiled steel sheeting with an in-fill of concrete. The behaviour of such walling under in-plane shear is important in order to utilise this system as shear elements in a steel framed building. Steel sheet-concrete interface governs composite action, overall behaviour and failure modes of such walls. This paper describes the finite element (FE) modelling of the shear behaviour of walls with particular emphasis on the simulation of steel-concrete interface. The modelling of complex non-linear steel-concrete interaction in composite walls is conducted by using different FE models. Four FE models are developed and characterized by their approaches to simulate steel-concrete interface behaviour allowing either full or partial composite action. Non-linear interface or joint elements are introduced between steel and concrete to simulate partial composite action that allows steel-concrete in-plane slip or out of plane separation. The properties of such interface/joint elements are optimised through extensive parametric FE analysis using experimental results to achieve reliable and accurate simulation of actual steel-concrete interaction in a wall. The performance of developed FE models is validated through small-scale model tests. FE models are found to simulate strength, stiffness and strain characteristics reasonably well. The performance of a model with joint elements connecting steel and concrete layers is found better than full composite (without interface or joint elements) and other models with interface elements. The proposed FE model can be used to simulate the shear behaviour of composite walls in practical situation.
