NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SHEAR WALL UNDER EARTHQUAKE LOADING
A constitutive model for predicting the cyclic response of reinforced concrete structures is proposed. The model adopts the concept of a smeared crack approach with orthogonal fixed cracks and assumes a plane stress condition. Predictions of the model are compared firstly with existing experimental data on shear walls which were tested under monotonic and cyclic loading. The same model is then used in the finite element analysis of a complete shear wall structure which was tested under a large number of cyclic load reversals due to earthquake loading at NUPEC's Tadotsu Engineering Laboratory. Two different finite element approaches were used, namely a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional representation of the test specimen. The ability of the concrete model to -reproduce the most important characteristics of the dynamic behaviour of this type of structural element was evaluated by comparison with available experimental data. The numerical results showed good correlation between the predicted and the actual response, global as well as local response being reasonable close to the experimental one.
