| Abstract | The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) containment structure subjected to seismic
loading has been explored by both experiment and finite element method (FEM) analysis. It
has been found that under horizontal loading, there are different shear modulus assignment for
hollow cylinder, i.e. the shear stiffness can be divided into two zones. One is associated
primarily with shear normal to the wall, the other is associated primarily with in-plane shear
behavior.
The RC shear wall consists of columns, beams and walls. Under earthquake, the column
mainly resist bending stress, and the wall mainly resist in-plane shear stress.
In this paper, by comparing the similarity of response between the hollow cylinder and
the shear wall under horizontal concentrate force, one kind of flange type shear wall which
corresponds to hollow cylinder has been established in terms of simplifying the analysis of
hollow cylinder.
Since an RC structure experiences elastic and inelastic stages under loading, accordingly,
two shear wall models have been established for the elastic and inelastic stage respectively.
The division zone of shear stiffness has been revised separately in two mechanical stages. The
difference of stress values and stress distribution between two structures have been analyzed
and compared. The results have proved the reliability of the assumed shear wall model. The
effects from the dimension and material properties of a cylinder in assuming the components
of shear wall have been studied and discussed. Both models have been verified by the
experimental results of a hollow cylinder and good agreement is found. |
