Design of Reinforced Concrete Containment Wall Elements Under Combined Action of Shear and Tension
Behavioral models are developed for reinforced concrete containment wall panels having orthogonal reinforcement and for those having both orthogonal and diagonal reinforcement. An initial axial tension which causes cracking in the concrete, is applied to the orthogonal reinforcement to simulate the normal membrane stresses induced by an accidental internal pressure load. This load is followed by the application of cyclic membrane shear histories representing the tangential shear stresses generated in the event of an earthquake. Using these two models, the experimentally measured strengths of various specimens are evaluated in view of important behavioral parameters. Then, an equation in terms of the governing parameters is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of these panels. Finally, a practical design procedure is developed and recommended as a replacement for the design criteria specified by the current Code. Applications of the proposed design procedure are shown and the results obtained are evaluated.
