The box system structure that consists only of reinforced concrete walls and slabs is recently used in high - rise apartment buildings. Due to functional requirements such as doors, windows, and other openings, a shear wall in a building contains many openings.
Some researches on the analysis of shear wall with openings were performed, but the analysis using a three dimensional element (or brick element), which are used for modeling the three dimensional structures, did not used in previous researches.
This paper presents the elastic analysis of shear wall with openings using brick element. Three models of shear walls with various opening size were carried out using brick elements to investigate the effect of the openings on the behavior of the shear wall. Also three models of shear walls with openings of various locations were carried out to study the effect of opening locations.
In order to compare the analyses results, a shell element, which is commonly used in modeling the shear walls, has been used to simulate each of these six models. The method used in this paper gave an accurate analysis for the shear walls with openings, and presented a study of the effect of opening locations on the behavior of shear wall.
hi.
ReplyDeletecan i have to full paper please because i am doing my research on shear wall with irregular opening
