Finite Element Simulation of RC Shear Wall Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall component is a very important lateral force-resisting member which is widely used in China. Its seismic behavior has a great impact on the seismic performance of the overall structure. Damage of some RC shear wall structures under the earthquake is caused by the damage of shear wall components, So shear wall components are an essential seismic members. However, the test datum are not enough to study the performance of RC shear wall components, Therefore, Finite element simulation of RC shear wall components is performed by software ABAQUS in the paper. Through comparing with the finite element simulation and the test of load - displacement skeleton curve, failure mode and steel bar strain, the result shows that the finite element simulation can more accurately simulate the situation of the test, verifying the finite element simulation is the most important research tool besides test.
