Most commercial buildings among existing RC buildings in Korea have a multi-story wall-frame structure where RC shear wall is commonly used as its core at stairways or elevators. The members of the existing middle and low-rise wall-frame buildings are likely arranged in ordinary details considering building occupancy, and the importance and difficulty of member design. This is because there are few limitations, considerations, and financial burdens on the code for designing members with ordinary details. Compared with the intermediate or unique details, the ductility and overstrength are insufficient. Furthermore, the behavior of the member can be shear-dominated. Since shear failure in vertical members can cause a collapse of the entire structure, nonlinear characteristics such as shear strength and stiffness deterioration should be adequately reflected in the analysis model. With this background, an 8-story RC wall-frame building was designed as a building frame system with ordinary shear walls, and the effect of reflecting the shear failure mode of columns and walls on the collapse mechanism was investigated. As a result, the shear failure mode effect on the collapse mechanism was evident in walls, not columns. Consequently, it is recommended that the shear behavior characteristics of walls are explicitly considered in the analysis of wall-frame buildings with ordinary details.

고강도 재료(고강도 콘크리트, 고강도 철근)가 사용된 철근콘크리트 부재의 전단파괴모드는 보통강도 재료를 사용한 부재의 전단파괴모드와 상이한 결과를 나타낼 수 있다. 고강도 재료가 사용될 경우에 구조설계기준식에서 요구하는 전단보강철근이 먼저 항복한 후에 콘크리트가 압축파괴하는 것과는 다르게, 철근이 항복하기 이전에 콘크리트가 압축파괴할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 고강도 재료가 사용된 철근콘크리트 부재의 최대철근비를 균형파괴시의 재료의 응력 및 변형률 상태를 이용하여 계산하였다. 제안식에서 최대철근비는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 전단보강철근의 상호관계에 의하여 변화하였다. 제안식은 97개의 철근콘크리트 부재에 대한 실험결과와 비교되었다. 실험결과 및 계산결과는 철근콘크리트 부재의 파괴모드가 전단보강철근의 양과 콘크리트의 압축강도와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 나타내었다.
