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.
This study aims to investigate the capacity of numerical
models to reproduce the monotonic behavior of reinforced concrete
framed structures.
This research investigates the behavior of RC frames
strengthened using steel jacket technique and the impact of using
this technique on the frame specifications was examined in terms of
rigidity, ductility and resistance.
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.
Due to the sensitivity of concrete frames to the lateral displacement especially in the case of tall buildings, it is useful to improve the behavior to resistance the lateral displacement through bracing. Bracing can be used in cases of rehabilitatio
n and increasing the efficiency of existing concrete buildings. Varied shapes of bracing for concrete frames in order to achieve opening for windows and doors in the wall of frames. The research aims to give an idea for designer on the effect of the shape of bracing on the cross section forces generated in the elements of R/C tall buildings frame elements.
The Study was conducted on R/C frame which consist from five spans, and fifteen storeys. It has compared different shapes of metal bracing, which are X, V, K and O. Calculation were based on Program CSI-SAP 2000.
Conducted compared for the storylateral displacement of concrete frame in relation with the bracing shape. It shows that the bracing have large effect to reduce the storey lateral displacement, in the case of the bracing with X and V shape decreased the value of displacement in the last story in ratio 52.38%, in the case of bracing with K and O shape decreased in ratio 23.07%.
Conducted detailed comparison for the value of cross section i.e. Moments, shear and axial forces in beams and columns of first and second floor frame in relationship of bracing shape. It concludes thatX and V bracing have large effect on the concrete tall buildings frame, as well as in the cases of improving the efficiency of existing R/C frame buildings.
Most existing structures are not designed with cod
requirements to meet seismic risk, Therefor methods for
strengthening and stiffening existing buildings are important .
This study is comparing between strengthening by adding shear
wall or by ad
ding steel bracing.X -V
The study shows the importance of using steel bracing system
that is excellent approach for strengthening and stiffening
existing buildings with small increase in mass ,the study also
approved that the constant value of R(response factor)(as
mentioned in the Syrian code and UBC97) is not completely
correct.
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.
