The Necessity of Transverse Steel Reinforcement for Confinement in Structural Reinforced Concrete Walls using Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis Method Himan Mohammad Eisa M.Sc., Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Urmia, Urmia, Iran. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------------of implementation of great details and requirements for Abstract - Reinforced concrete walls are one of the most increased structural resistance, the performance of the important and useful earthquake-resistant systems. Regarding bearing wall system was rarely economically justified in the provide adequate performance against seismic forces, its United States, while the bearing wall system operating in ductility should be provided by considering some design Chile was completely economical. principles. Since confining the concrete will increase the ductility of the reinforced concrete member, designing There are various parameters that can affect the structural instructions try to increase the ductility of the wall by behavior of systems. For example, the geometrical variables specifying a certain length of wall edges to implement specific and materials used in members playing a significant role in transverse steel reinforcement in this area. In this study, the structures,[3]–[6]. On the other hand, many researchers need for the transverse steel bars to apply confinement in showed that ductility of the lateral load-carrying structural concrete is compared with the equations suggested by systems has a significant influence on the performance of the previous studies for the displacement-based design of building in earthquakes. For instance, Alimohammadi and structural bearing walls. For this purpose, nonlinear static Lotfollahi Yaghin (2019) [7] studied the seismic behavior of analysis and nonlinear time history analysis was utilized. The light steel frame (LSF) structures using two lateral load results of the study indicate that the lateral deformation of the bracing systems and LSF shear walls. They studied and structures is less than the final limit specified by the compared different seismic behavior factors such as regulations, even without considering the transverse steel bars ductility, added resistance coefficient, coefficient of for concrete confinement hardness, etc., of these two different lateral resistance systems using nonlinear pushover analysis. They compared Key Words: Reinforced concrete structural wall, Nonlinear their presented coefficient of ductility for various variables dynamic analysis, Pushover, OpenSees in their study, and they showed the accordance of them with the Iranian design regulations for all seismic zones. Their 1. INTRODUCTION study results revealed that the more deformable lateral resistance building systems could be more building On March 3, 1985, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on Richter performance efficient in all seismicity zone as well. In occurred in an area near the central coast of Chile. The city, another study, Alimohammadi et al. (2019) [8] studied the which influenced by the earthquake, was the city of Vienna effects of different shapes of openings on seismic behavior of Delmar, with about 400 modern concrete reinforced the concrete shear walls using nonlinear static analysis buildings designed and built on engineering principles [1]. (Pushover). They compared the changing of many seismic Most of the buildings had numerous reinforced concrete factors with the opening shapes in the lateral systems, such structures designed to deal with lateral forces. Initial reports as the results of the ductility coefficient, energy absorption, indicated that the buildings had shown a very favourable hardness, added resistance, and so on. From their simulation performance so that the damage was very low, and in many results, they concluded that the various shapes of openings cases, they were unhurt. Further research [2] showed that affect the resistance and the hardening of shear walls. The although the seismic requirements of the Chilean statue effect of lack of the shear walls on the seismic performance were similar to the U.S. requirements for high-risk areas, the and properties of short, medium, and tall buildings is harder required details by the Chilean regulations were not than the shear wall with the openings. Also, the closer the strict,[1]; also, the Chilean monitoring was less strict openings to the edge of the wall showed the more decrease comparing to the U.S. Standards. Those buildings in Chile, in strength and ductility [8]. In lateral resistance systems, it according to the U.S. classification regulations (such as the is obvious that the most critical columns are those located at Uniform Building Code UBC-88), were in the group structure the nearest external frame of the structure, should be with a load-bearing wall. Regarding these regulations, the considered as highly important members in progressive design forces for this group were greater than the flexural collapse potential reduction as key members [9] and frame system and the dual system. Also, the details needed Increasing the stiffness of the column head results in the to form doing more plasticity and more accurate monitoring decreasing of the displacement of the column header as well for the load-bearing wall system, compared to the other two [10]. systems was mentioned. Consequently, due to the high cost
