What is A Versatile Numerical Model for the Nonlinear Analysis of Squat-to-tall Reinforced-concrete Shear Walls about?
Reinforced concrete (RC) walls are extensively used to resist lateral forces in tall buildings as well as in the majority of medium to low-rise structures designed for protective purposes. In the framework of seismic performance-based design, where an adequate modeling of the lateral load versus lateral displacement relationship and a full understanding of the damage evolution are required, numerical models represent an effective tool to conduct nonlinear response analyses of such systems. For practical applications and for performing extensive nonlinear analyses, it would be desirable to have a robust yet simple numerical model that is capable of capturing the global and local characteristics of the response for different levels of damage. To this end, this paper presents a finite element-based model implemented in OpenSees [1] capable of simulating the in-plane nonlinear static and dynamic response of RC walls across a broad range of aspect ratios. The proposed model includes (i) the element technology, in which the state-of-the-art isoparametric elements are coupled with layered sections, and (ii) a novel plane-stress plastic-damage concrete material.
