This work reports the results of an investigation into the capability of two different beam-column finite elements to simulate the dynamic response of a shear wall under ground excitations. The specimen under study is one of the two 5-story, 1/3rd scale, reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls tested on a shaking table, under a sequence of accelerograms, for the CAMUS I Program. The wall was designed according to the French code PS92 and is representative of large lightly reinforced walls as reported in the Eurocode 8 standard. The experimental results show the influence of the shear effects into the wall response and failure mode. In order to evaluate the capabilities and the limitations of the models, the numerical results were compared with the measured experimental response. The paper first discusses the development of the models to study the response of the shear wall specimen. The measured response is used to assess the benefits and limitations of the proposed models as well as the benefits and limitations of the adopted finite element formulations.

Abstract
This work reports the results of an investigation into the capability of two different beam-column finite elements to simulate the dynamic response of a shear wall under ground excitations. The specimen under study is one of the two 5-story, 1/3rd scale, reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls tested on a shaking table, under a sequence of accelerograms, for the CAMUS I Program. The wall was designed according to the French code PS92 and is representative of large lightly reinforced walls as reported in the Eurocode 8 standard. The experimental results show the influence of the shear effects into the wall response and failure mode. In order to evaluate the capabilities and the limitations of the models, the numerical results were compared with the measured experimental response. The paper first discusses the development of the models to study the response of the shear wall specimen. The measured response is used to assess the benefits and limitations of the proposed models as well as the benefits and limitations of the adopted finite element formulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
