Abstract:

The out-of-plane behaviour of the walls as a consequence of an earthquake is the main vulnerability of existing masonry structures. In the case of rigid in compression not tensile resistant material, incremental dynamic analyses may be employed to evaluate the effective strength of a rocking element. When the seismic capacity of the wall is inadequate, retrofit interventions are required to assure an acceptable safety level. Conventional seismic retrofitting techniques on masonry walls influence the seismic performance of the element, which typically is modified in an out-of-plane bending behaviour. In this paper, analytical investigations are presented to investigate the possibility of a seismic retrofitting intervention able to increase the seismic strength of the wall without modifying its seismic behaviour. The analysed retrofitting technique consists in the application of composite vertical bars either in the middle section of the wall or at its external surfaces. The seismic behaviour of the retrofitted masonry wall is analytically evaluated by means of a parametric incremental dynamic analysis, carried out with an ad hoc in-house software. The effectiveness of the intervention is analysed in terms of level of seismic improvement, defined as the ratio between the seismic capacity of the reinforced and unreinforced walls.

Abstract:

The behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls under seismic loading is considered, with particular emphasis being given to face-load response. It is shown that traditional methods of assessing seismic performance based on elastic stress calculations result in excessively conservative results when compared with more realistic methods of assessment. In particular, an assessment procedure based on energy considerations is developed at some length, and is illustrated by a worked sample.

Abstract:

Shear walls are specifically meant to withstand lateral forces exerted by either wind or earthquake loads on a structure. Due to their superior strength and stiffness, shear walls have been an integral feature of mid-rise and high- rise structures over the past two decades. Various studies have been performed in this field. Usage of post-tensioned tendons in the traditional shear wall is one of the major advancements in recent times so as to increase the stiffness and reduce the damage incurred by destructive earthquakes. The key advantage of post-tensioned shear walls is the potential to re-centre after a devastating earthquake which is lacking in conventional reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls that rely on yielding creating large deformations. Moreover, compared with conventional shear wall construction, post-tensioned shear walls can reduce the use of vertical mild steel reinforcement. This results in materials being used more effectively and eliminates congestion. This paper seeks to review and analyze the research studies based on post- tensioned shear wall focusing on works published within the last decade. Firstly, the benefits of using post-tensioned shear walls in seismically active areas are illustrated. The behaviour and parameters controlling the performance of post-tensioned shear walls are then studied. A critical study of the factors responsible for the performance of post- tensioned shear wall is the primary objective of this review.

Abstract:

Since the advent of the latest National building code of Canada, the level of intervention required to meet seismic requirements for the rehabilitation of heritage buildings has increased significantly. An example of this type of project is the rehabilitation of the West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Eight walls representative of the stone masonry in the West Block building were constructed, some with different rehabilitation schemes, and tested to investigate their in-plane seismic behaviour. The walls were double wythes of sandstone and limestone connected by a rubble core. The walls were 2750 mm high by 2000 mm wide by 540 mm thick. The rehabilitation schemes represented different ways of tying the stone wythes together, since the outer sandstone wythe has separated from the rubble core in some locations in the existing structure. The results reveal that the suggested strengthening schemes neither benefit nor degrade the in-plane seismic behaviour compared to that of a plain wall.

Abstract:

Half-timbered buildings are well known as one of the most efficient seismic resistant structure in the world, but their popularity is not only due to their seismic performance, but also to their low cost and the strength they offer. These structures generally consist of exterior masonry walls with timber elements embedded which tie the walls together and internal walls which have a timber frame with masonry infill and act as shear walls. Generally, different types of infill could be applied to half-timbered walls depending on the country, namely brick masonry, rubble masonry, hay, mud, etc. The focus of this paper is to study the seismic behaviour of the walls when no infill is present, i.e. considering only the timber frame, and then compare the results with those of the infill walls. Static cyclic tests have been performed on unreinforced timber frame walls and appropriate strengthening solutions have been applied in order to test the walls in a retrofitted condition, namely (1) steel plates with different configurations and (2) steel flat bars inserted with the NSM technique.

Abstract:

Precast concrete walls become increasingly utilized due to the rapid needs of inexpensive fabricated house especially as traditional construction cost continues to climb, and also, particularly at damaged area due to natural disasters when the requirement of a lot of fast-constructed and cost-efficient houses are paramount. However, the performance of precast walls under lateral load such as earthquake or strong wind is still not comprehensively understood due to various types of reinforcements and connections. Additionally, the massive and solid wall elements also enlarge the building total weight and hence increase the impact of earthquake significantly. Therefore, the precast polystyrene-reinforced concrete walls which offer light weight and easy installment became the focus of this investigation. The laboratory test on two reinforced concrete wall specimens using EPS (expanded polystyrene) panel and wire mesh reinforcement has been conducted. Quasi-static load in the form of displacement controlled cyclic tests were undertaken until reaching peak load. At each discrete loading step, lateral load-deflection behaviour, crack propagation, and collapse mechanism were measured which then were compared with theoretical analysis. The findings showed that precast polystyrene-reinforced concrete walls gave considerable seismic performance for the low-to-moderate seismic region reaching up to 1% drift at 20% drop of peak load. However, it might not be sufficient for high seismic regions, at which double-panel wall type can be more suitable.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate a reinforced concrete multi-storey building with dissipative structural walls. These walls can improve the behaviour of a tall multi-storey building. The authors’ main objective is to evaluate the damage of a building with dissipative walls in comparison with that of a building with solid walls. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a comparative nonlinear dynamic analysis between a building with slit walls and then the same building with solid walls is performed by means of SAP2000 software and using a layer model. The solution to increase the seismic performance of a building with structural walls is to create slit zones with short connections in to the walls. The short connections are introduced as a link element with multi-linear pivot hysteretic plasticity behaviour. The hysteretic rules and parameters of these short connections were proposed by the authors and used in this analysis. In this study, the authors propose to evaluate the damage of a building with reinforced concrete slit walls with short connections using seismic analysis. Findings – Using the computational model created by the authors for the slit wall, a seismic analysis of a multi-storey building with slit walls was done. From the results obtained, the advantages of the proposed model are observed. Originality/value – Using a simple computational model, created by the authors, that consume low processing resources and reduces processing time, a nonlinear dynamic analysis on high-rise buildings was done. Unlike other studies on slit walls with short connections, which are focused mostly on the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the short connections, in this paper the authors take into consideration the whole structural system, wall, connections and frames.

Abstract:

The retrofit solutions studied herein aim to improve the seismic and energetic behaviours of existing masonry buildings to guarantee safety and the preservation of the building heritage. The retrofit consists of timber-based products (panels and strong-backs) fixed to the masonry walls using mechanical point-to-point connections; the durability and the hygrothermal performance of the solutions are guaranteed by insulation layers and membranes. The thermophysical properties of the retrofitted walls were evaluated by means of analytical and numerical analyses, considering the heat transmission in both steady and unsteady state conditions and the thermal bridge in correspondence with the corner of the wall. The in-plane seismic behaviour of the retrofitted walls was numerically investigated through nonlinear analyses. The influence of various parameters (such as masonry and insulation properties) on the performance of the retrofit solutions was analysed via parametric simulations.

Abstract:

In the last 50 years there have been many documented failures of gravity retaining quay walls due to earthquake events. These failures are often associated with significant deformation of liquefiable soil deposits (e. g. major damage occurred at Kobe Port during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake). Saudi Arabia has similar types of quay walls located in regions that have the potential to experience significant seismic events. These walls have not been designed for seismic resistance and therefore have the potential to suffer serious damage from seismic activity. For many years the design of seismic gravity quay walls has been studied and design codes for engineering practice established; however, the widespread failures of these structures during recent earthquakes demonstrates that these design methods may be insufficient. Such gravity quay wall failures have stimulated progress in the development of a performance-based seismic design method using non-linear inelastic dynamic analysis for quay wall structures. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology for the seismic design of gravity quay walls using a non-linear elasto-plastic dynamic analysis. The final method adopted in this work is based on the generalised elasto-plasiticity constitutive model developed by Pastor et aL (1990), with some minor modifications, which has been incorporated into a finite element procedure. The proposed P-Z sand model was first validated by simulating published monotonic and cyclic test results. Secondly, an effective stress analysis was established by developing a finite element model for Kobe Port Island quay walls using the P-Z sand model. This model was validated by comparing the predicted deformations with those experienced at Kobe. The computed residual deformations from the analysis were in good agreement with published field observations. To develop mitigation strategies, a parametric study of the seismic perfonnance of gravity quay walls, using the effective stress analysis, was conducted. This study assessed the effect of various structural and geotechnical parameters on the seismic performance of quay walls. Twenty-six cases of effective stress analysis with variation in tidal range, soil permeability, soil relative densities, and wall widths were conducted as well as analyses to test the importance of considering multi-directional seismic excitations as opposed to uni-directional. In order to assess the safety of existing quay walls in Jeddah Port, an experimental programme was conducted. This programme consisted of a site investigation (using a standard penetration test (SPT)) to determine the in situ relative density of the existing backfill, a series of laboratory based, monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests (to define the soil properties of Jeddah Port sand) and a two-dimensional effective stress finite element analysis of a typical Jeddah quay wall. The monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests were conducted for three different relative densities of D, = 35 %, 55% and 75%. These represent loose (equal to in situ conditions as established by the site investigation), medium dense and dense sand. The experimental results are discussed and then used to identify the P-Z sand model parameters. These parameters were used in conjunction with a finite element analysis of Jeddah Port quay walls to Predict the seismic deformations. In this analysis the finite element model was subjected to a number of different ground motions, which represented two different levels of earthquake intensity; namely moderate and strong ground shaking. The effect of improvement strategies such as increasing the relative density of the backfill and foundation materials was then assessed The results of the simulations showed that existing Jeddah Port quay walls are not satisfactory to resist either moderate or strong earthquake excitations. However, if the relative density is increased to 55% then satisfactory performance can be achieved for a moderate intensity earthquake. For the case of strong shaking, the analysis showed that the quay walls did not demonstrate the required performance levels; however, they were only under specification by 10%. Finally, a flowchart illustrating a seismic design procedure for gravity quay walls has been proposed, which is applicable to both existing and new gravity quay walls. Key-words: quay wall, liquefaction, earthquake, port, effective stress, constitutive model.

Abstract:

Tied-back retaining walls frequently fail during earthquakes. Such failures are usually characterized by large displacements of the retaining wall and subsidence of the backfill. Often these failures result in extensive damage to the tied-back wall system and to adjoining structures and lifeline facilities. Whereas the seismic behavior of gravity retaining walls has been investigated in detail and procedures are now available for the seismic design of gravity retaining walls, very little analytical or experimental work has been reported on the behavior of tied-back retaining walls when they are subjected to seismic loads. In this research, a limit equilibrium method is used to analyze the seismic behavior of tied-back retaining walls. The analytical approach is calibrated against results from shake table tests on aluminium walls retaining a dry cohesionless soil. The shake table experiments were performed at the State University of New York at Buffalo seismic simulator facility. The analytical and the experimental study indicate the tremendous influence of anchorage systems on the performance of tied-back retaining walls during earthquakes. Based on the results of these studies, a procedure is proposed for the design of tied-back retaining walls in seismically active regions. The main thrust of the proposed seismic design procedure is in improving the anchorage capacity of tied-back retaining walls.

Abstract:

Precast concrete panels are a popular construction technique due to their increased construction speed, low cost and the ability to use the precast concrete elements for structural walls to provide high strength and stiffness when used for structural purposes. Slender precast concrete wall panels are a common construction method for single storey warehouse type buildings. Following the Canterbury earthquake sequence Christchurch from 2010 – 2014, damage was observed in precast concrete wall buildings that resulted in out-of-plane collapse of wall panels. . This project seeks to investigate the behaviour of precast reinforced concrete walls designed for limited ductility under gravity and quasi-static in-plane loading. The main point of interest in this thesis research is to understand the seismic behaviour of the connection as well as the out-of-plane stability of slender panels. To investigate the behaviour of this panel and connection type, three slender precast concrete walls, representing full scale panel geometry were subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading. Two common panel to foundation connection types were studied: 1) threaded inserts and 2) traditional starter bars as well as one alternative connection which was developed as a means to improve the out-of-plane response and understand the impact of this design choice on the in-plane behavior of the wall. For all the three units, the dowel connection performed well and the thin wall failed under flexural failure due to loss of strength cause by fracturing of longitudinal rebars after being buckled under the effects of lateral cyclic loading. Significant horizontal cracking occurred on each of the tests at dowel level except unit threaded insert with 50mm cover behind the head of the insert (TI12-C50-IP) which suffered a secondary horizontal crack at 500mm above the main crack and a diagonal crack at the center of the wall. Moreover, this unit was able to undergo more deformation due to a secondary crack.

Abstract:

In this work experimental and numerical investigations were conducted on seismic behaviour of steel plate shear wall systems (SPSW) with and without cut-outs. Medium-scale specimens with moment-resisting connections between beam and columns and specific edge connections for fish plates were designed and constructed. The specimens were subjected to the cyclic quasi-static load. A loading system and proper lateral bracing unit was designed and built to apply the loading history according to ATC-24 protocol. Nonlinear finite element analysis models with dynamic formulation were developed to analyse test specimens. The results were validated with available published test results from other researchers. After validation, the model was used for estimating the maximum load required for testing of specimens. The efficiency of the method was finally proved by comparing the pushover and hysteresis analysis results with tests carried out in Kingston University's lab. The test series comprised frame-only, steel plate shear wall with two different types of steel plate and corresponding specimens with circular cut-outs in the steel plates, GFRP-steel Sandwich Shear Walls (GSSW) with different GFRP lay-up, GSSW with cut-outs and finally the steel plate shear wall with cut-out and optimally designed steel stiffeners, The specification of boundary members and the type of connections was kept unchanged in all specimens. The effectiveness of utilising the GFRP plies and steel stiffeners for improving the seismic performance of steel plate shear walls with and without cut-outs was explored. The effectiveness of these methods for enhancing the initial stiffness and ultimate load capacity of specimens with no noticeable requirements for increasing flexural stiffness for columns was verified.

Abstract:

Reinforcement of soil enables a soil slope or wall to be retained at angles steeper than the soil material’s angle of repose. Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) systems enable shortened construction time, lower cost, increased seismic performance and potentially improve aesthetic benefits over their conventional retaining wall counterparts such as gravity and cantilever type retaining walls. Experience in previous earthquakes such as Northridge (1994), Kobe (1995), and Ji-Ji (1999) indicate good performance of reinforced soil retaining walls under high seismic loads. However, this good performance is not necessarily due to advanced understanding of their behaviour, rather this highlights the inherent stability of reinforced soil against high seismic loads and conservatism in static design practices. This is an experimental study on a series of seven reduced-scale GRS model walls with FHR facing under seismic excitation conducted using a shake-table. The models were 900 mm high, reinforced by five layers of stiff Microgrid reinforcement, and were founded on a rigid foundation. The soil deposit backfill was constructed of dry dense Albany sand, compacted by vibration (average Dr = 90%). The influence of the L/H ratio and wall inclination on seismic performance was investigated by varying these important design parameters throughout the testing programme. The L/H ratio ranged from 0.6 – 0.9, and the walls were primarily vertical except for one test inclined at 70o to the horizontal. During testing, facing displacements and accelerations within the backfill were recorded at varying levels of shaking intensity. Mechanisms of deformation, in particular, were of interest in this study. Global and local deformations within the backfill were investigated using two methods. The first utilised coloured horizontal and vertical sand markers placed within the backfill. The second utilised high-speed camera imaging for subsequent analysis using Geotechnical Particle Image Velocimetry (GeoPIV) software. GeoPIV enabled shear strains to be identified within the soil at far smaller strain levels than that rendered visible by eye using the coloured sand markers. The complementary methods allowed the complete spatial and temporal development of deformation within the backfill to be visualised. Failure was predominantly by overturning, with some small sliding component. All models displayed a characteristic bi-linear displacement-acceleration curve, with the existence of a critical acceleration, below which deformations were minor, and above which ultimate failure occurs. During failure, the rate of sliding increased significantly. An increase in the L/H ratio from 0.6 to 0.9 caused the displacement-acceleration curve to be shallower, and hence the wall to deform less at low levels of acceleration. Accelerations at failure also increased, from 0.5g to 0.7g, respectively. A similar trend of increased seismic performance was observed for the wall inclined at 70o to the horizontal, when compared to the other vertical walls. Overturning was accompanied by the progressive development of multiple inclined shear surfaces from the wall crest to the back of the reinforced soil block. Failure of the models occurred when an inclined failure surface developed from the lowest layer of reinforcement to the wall crest. Deformations largely confirmed the two-wedge failure mechanism proposed by Horii et al. (2004). For all tests, the reinforced soil block was observed to demonstrate non-rigid behaviour, with simple shearing along horizontal planes as well as strain localisations at the reinforcement or within the back of the reinforced soil block. This observation is contrary to design, which assumes the reinforced soil block to behave rigidly.

Abstract:

This thesis studies the static and seismic behavior of simple structures made with gabion box walls. The analysis was performed considering a one-story building with standard dimensions in plan (6m x 5m) and a lightweight timber roof. The main focus of the present investigation is to find the principals aspects of the seismic behavior of a one story building made with gabion box walls, in order to prevent a failure due to seismic actions and in this way help to reduce the seismic risk of developing countries where this natural disaster have a significant intensity. Regarding the gabion box wall, it has been performed some calculations and analysis in order to understand the static and dynamic behavior. From the static point of view, it has been performed a verification of the normal stress computing the normal stress that arrives at the base of the gabion wall and the corresponding capacity of the ground. Moreover, regarding the seismic analysis, it has been studied the in-plane and out-of-plane behavior. The most critical aspect was discovered to be the out-of-plane behavior, for which have been developed models considering the “rigid- no tension model” for masonry, finding a kinematically admissible multiplier that will create a collapse mechanism for the structure. Furthermore, it has been performed a FEM and DEM models to find the maximum displacement at the center of the wall, maximum tension stresses needed for calculating the steel connectors for joining consecutive gabions and the dimensions (length of the wall and distance between orthogonal walls or buttresses) of a geometrical configuration for the standard modulus of the structure, in order to ensure an adequate safety margin for earthquakes with a PGA around 0.4-0.5g. Using the results obtained before, it has been created some rules of thumb, that have to be satisfy in order to ensure a good behavior of these structure.

Abstract:

Increase in population density and shortage of land are the two major problems in all developing countries including India. To mitigate these problems, the designers resort to high rise building. One of the most important criteria for designing a structural system is its resistance to lateral loads. Coupled walls structures is considered to be one of the potential option for resisting lateral loads in high-rise structure and have widely been used around the world in multi-story buildings. Coupled walls, mainly consist of pier walls which are connected by coupling beams at each floor level. These systems are typically located in the service core and sometimes on the perimeter of the buildings. The main benefit of coupled wall over cantilever walls are, a part of the total overturning moment is resisted by coupling action and there is energy dissipation along the height of the structure through the formation of plastic hinges at both ends of the coupling beams. The present work reviews different factors influencing the seismic performance of coupled wall structural system, importance of coupling ratio, different modeling techniques, a comparative study on different coupled wall systems and a brief overview of design methodologies. Considering structural performance, energy absorption capacity and higher shear stiffness to limit lateral deformation, coupled wall structures were considered to be efficient and economical structural system in high-rise building.

Abstract:

<p>Using an appropriate structural system is critical to good seismic performance of buildings. While moment- frame is the most commonly used lateral load resisting structural system, addition of other structural systems like structural walls, frame-wall system improve the seismic resistance. Structural system chosen should be suitable for good earthquake performance, with vertical and horizontal members of lateral load resisting system (LLRS) that can carry earthquake effects safely during strong earthquake shaking. Studies on real structures, practically adopted are negligible. Present work deals with the comparison of seismic performance of the structural system under consideration with existing features (Lift core RC wall & Infill effect along the boundary walls) as LLRS in the building using response spectrum and time history method..</p>

Abstract:

This research has focused on the behavior, under seismic conditions, of already existing steel storage tanks of large capacity, located in high risk zones. From the revision of analysis and design criteria concerned with thin walls structures, it has been prepared a procedure based on a numeric modeling where the mechanic characteristics of the materials and the real geometrical measures have been considered. Numeric analysis by FEM have been used in different conditions: empty tanks vibration, full tanks where fluid-structure interaction is considered to the case of flexible walls, in order to take into account the pressure distribution of the liquid. To estimate the response, real seismic records originated in the Mexican Region, have been used. Finally the numerical results obtained of the empty tanks with those calculated analytically are compared and it is observed that a good correlation between both approaches. For the results obtained of the fluid-structure interaction models with the selected seismic registry is observed that given its great dimensions and the rigidity that provides the ring to them in the top part of the tanks, the effect of the surge is not very significant due to the fluid system — structure is excited in the first seconds, reason why the action of the hydrostatic pressure on the walls of these is sample to be dominant.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete walls sandwiching granular infill may be used to enhance missile protection of selected facilities. Two behaviors complicate the seismic response of the assemblage of granular material contained by the two concrete wall elements. First, the granular material tends to settle when the walls pull apart in a breathing mode. This settling increases the lateral pressure acting on each wall, generating a set of forces that acts to spread the walls apart. Settling of the granular material combined with spreading of the walls results in breathing mode deformations that can occur in a ratcheting behavior, with the walls moving progressively further apart with each cycle of strong ground motion. Second, friction forces develop between the two walls and granular material. These forces may cause partial flexural coupling of the two walls (i.e., partial composite action). Soil mechanics solutions for lateral soil pressure acting in trenches are adapted to predict the lateral pressure of granular infill. The granular material is represented by a bilinear lateral response representing the active flow regime. The seismic response of granular infill concrete walls is studied using nonlinear finite element analysis. Simple structural models appropriate for routine seismic analysis that capture important aspects of the seismic response are proposed.
