Optimization of Coupled Shear Walls Openings Dimensions under Static Loading using Continuous Method
Abstract This paper presents a method for easy calculation of the optimum dimensions of the shear walls openings based on deformation and displacement of the wall in the roof elevation with the usage of the continuous method. By using the continuous method, researchers have tried to calculate the relationship between the displacement of the wall in the roof elevation with the openings dimensions. The displacement diagram of the wall at roof elevation will be plotted with respect to the defined parameters of the openings length to the walls length ratio and the percentage of the openings area to walls area ratio. Then, the openings dimension, which led to minimum displacement, will be chosen, and its alterations diagram versus the walls dimensions will be plotted. The effect of the parameters, such as the number of floors and loading type on the calculated optimum dimensions, which may change the results, has been shown. Two case studies of coupled shear wall under lateral load were considered. In both of them, the openings areas were analyzed with the ETABS program, first with optimal dimensions and then with non-optimal dimensions. The results were compared, and a simple method was presented for the calculation of the optimized dimensions of openings.
