Distribution of Inelastic Demand in Slender R/C Shear Walls Subjected to Eastern North America Ground Motions
This paper compares the nonlinear seismic response of an 10-story reinforced concrete shear wall building located in Montreal, Canada that was designed according to four different editions of the National Building Code of Canada: 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2005. The design seismic loads and detailing requirements used for the four designs are discussed and compared. The study focuses on the shear force demand in the wall and on the potential for inelastic flexural response in the upper levels due to higher mode response. Two different 2D models are used in the study: a plane stress finite element model using the VecTor2 software and a fiber element model using the OpenSees program.
