Structural Frame system is considers as an earthquake resisting structural
systems. On the other hand, many techniques were used to improve the
resistance against lateral loads. where Steel Plate Shear Wall fixed within
frame span is one of those
techniques.
This research aims to develop the Strip model of Partial Steel Plate Shear
Walls with Reinforced-Concrete Frame with opening parallel to beams.
Frame structuressystems contribute to resist the seismic loads. And there are many
techniques used to improve the resistance to lateral loads where steel shear walls,which is
embedded within the Frame span, are considered to be one of these ways.
This research aims to study the effect of strengthening of the reinforced concrete
frames by inserting partial steel plate shear walls, the opening is parallel to beams,
embedded within the frame. This study applied numerical analysis using Finite Element
Method (FEM) using nonlinear pushover analysis based on geometrical and Material Non-
Linear Analysis (GMNLA). Using these methods allow us to study the behavior of the
Partial steel plate that seal the whole span of the reinforced concrete frame with opening
parallel to beams against lateral loads.
This study conclude that using a partial steel plate shear wall, with opening parallel
to beams with reinforced- concrete frames can enhance the resistanceand the seismic
energy dissipation significantly.
Frame structures contribute to resist the seismic loads. On the other hand, many techniques were used to improve the resistance against lateral loads where steel shear walls are considered to be one of these ways.
This research aims to study the eff
ect of strengthening of the
reinforced concrete frames inserting perforated steel plate shear walls embedded within the frame. This study applied numerical analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) using nonlinear pushover analysis based on geometrically and Materially Non-Linear Analysis (GMNLA) was performed. To study the behavior of the steel plate that seal the hall span of the reinforced concrete frame against lateral loads. Moreover, perforated steel plate was studied taking under consideration the effect of the number and the area of the perforations and strengthening of the perforations circumference on the resistance was observed.
This study conclude that using a perforated steel plate shear wall with reinforced- concrete frames and strengthening of the perforations circumference can enhance the resistance significantly beside that it decrease the frame deflection.
Frame structures contribute to resist the seismic loads. On the other hand, frames
work efficiently to increase the ductility of buildings. Therefore, many techniques were
used to improve the resistance against lateral loads where steel shear walls
are considered
to be one of these ways.
This research aims to study the effect of inserting steel shear wall on the resistance of
the reinforced concrete frame against earthquake loads. In this study, Finite Element
Method (FEM) using Geometrically and Materially Non-Linear Analysis (GMNLA) was
performed. Pushover analysis is used to explore the behavior of the steel plate in-filled
reinforced concrete frame against lateral loads. Moreover, the effect of plate thickness was
undertaken. On the other hand, an opening is made in this plate. Then, the influence of the
position and dimension of this opening on the resistance was observed.
This study shows that using a steel plate shear wall with or without opening can
enhance the resistance to seismic loads significantly together with the deflection decrease.
