  • Modelling inelastic response of RC wall systems [Elektronski vir]
    Fischinger, Matej ; Isaković, Tatjana
    It is important to realize that each individual wall is a part of a complex 3D building system. While frequently neglected in the design and research, 3D interacting mechanisms are important in ... buildings with structural walls. Some of these mechanisms: the uplift of the wall boundary elements due to yielding, the fluctuating axial force due to rocking, bi-axial loading, the interaction due to the slab coupling and the resulting axial-flexural-shear interaction are addressed in the paper, based on the results of several experiments and benchmark studies. The need for the adequate numerical tools has been identified. A relatively simple, yet robust multiple-vertical-line-element model in which the springs are monitored with force-displacement relationships (rather than stress-strain) was developed, which has been able to respond to some of these challenges. The latest 3D version of this element, which can monitor shear-flexural interaction, was incorporated into the OpenSees platform. This element was very successfully used in several benchmark predictions involving many uncertain parameters and complex structural interaction, thus proving its robustness and efficiency.
