Evaluation of UHPC Tall Buildings in UAE with Ductile Coupled Shear Walls under Seismic Loading
A numerical study of a 60-story office building in Dubai is conducted in this paper. The building is symmetric in plan with no vertical or horizontal irregularities. Special Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls make up the lateral resisting system. The effect of seismic loading is investigated in the models. Dynamic response spectrum is used for the seismic analysis stage. Effects of changing the type and grade of concrete material in the shear wall system are examined. For this purpose, conventional concrete and three grades of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) are utilized. Comparisons in terms of seismic performance and cost are presented in this study. The results show that the utilization of UHPC is recommended. Superior seismic performance and reduced costs are observed in UHPC models of grades 150 MPa and 185 MPa.
