This research presents the nonlinear analysis model for reinforced concrete shear wall systems with special boundary elements as proposed by the Korean Building Code (KBC, 2009). In order to verify the analysis model, analytical results were compared with the experimental results obtained from previous studies. Established analytical model was used to perform nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Analytical results showed that the semi-special shear wall improved significantly the performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation as expected based on previous test results. Furthermore, nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis was performed using 20 ground motions. Based on computer analytical results, the ordinary shear wall, special shear wall and newly proposed semi-special shear wall systems were evaluated based on the methods in FEMA P965. The results based on the probabilistic approaches accounting for inherent uncertainties showed that the semi-special shear wall systems provide a high capacity/demand (ACMR) ratio owing to their details, which provide enough capacity to sustain large inelastic deformations.

In this paper, analytical models for reinforced concrete shear wall systems designed based on Korean Building Code (KBC2009) are proposed, which have special and semi-special seismic details and are compared with experimental results for a verification of analytical models. In addition, semi-special seismic details aimed to improve constructability and enhance economic efficiency were proposed and evaluated. The analytical models were performed based on nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. Through the nonlinear analyses, two seismic details showed the similar seismic behavior from the cyclic test and the analytical models for the two different seismic details represented the behavior in terms of the initial stiffness, maximum strength and strength degradation. And newly proposed seismic details(semi-special) provided with similar hysterestic behavior as well as the maximum drift.

우리나라의 경우 한정적인 대지조건으로 인해 고층 건축물의 수요가 증가하고 있으며 세계 각국을 포함한 국내의 지진 피해를 토대로 기존의 내진설계 기준은 강도설계법에서 성능기반설계법으로 적용되고 있다. 여기서 지진하중에 대응하는 구조물의 목표 성능수준을 각 부재의 비선형특성에 기반하여 만족하도록 설계하는 성능기반설계법 중에서도 목표성능수준을 변위에 맞추어 주어진 목표변위 이내로 응답이 제어될 수 있도록 설계하는 변위기반설계법을 다룬다. 특히 특수전단벽체 적용 연구자료를 구축하기 위해 두께 200mm를 갖는 22층 철근콘크리트 전단벽체구조에 대해 변위기반설계법을 토대로 내진성능 개선을 위한 내진성능 평가를 실시하고자 한다.

In this study, literature review on the method of reinforcing the special shear wall boundary element was carried out. As a reviewing results of two studies, it was evaluated that it is possible to reinforce the boundary element using rectangular steel pipe, H-shaped section steel and lattice material.

In this study aims at exploring the use of steel frame as an innovative method of improving the seismic performance of link beams. Also, the effect of diagonal reinforcement in link beam is evaluated in comparison to conventional reinforcement.

The purpose of this study is to present the new effective stiffness of special RC shear walls with flanges. ACI 318-99 adapt the different design provisions of effective stiffness between simple walls and walls with flanges. But domestic code makes no distinction between simple and with flanges walls. By the nonlinear analysis, maximum loads and displacement are calculated. Therefore the moment-curvature curve is calcultaed by the P-Δ curve. The stiffness ratios of cracked and uncracked section are calculated by the moment-curvature curves. And the stiffness ratios of simple walls and wall with flange are compared.

Coupling beams of coupled shear wall systems are often the most critical members in medium or high rise buildings subject to seismic load or wind loads. To ensure the survival of shear walls under high-intensity cyclic loading, these beams, which normally have limited dimensions, should possess high deformability and good energy absorption while being able to resist large shear force. Experimental work are conducted to illustrate the design of special RC coupling beams using the proposed procedure reinforcement details.
