Study on the Seismic Performance of Shear Wall Structure with Unidirectional Wall Frames Based on Pushover Analysis

Abstract:

In the paper, the equation of stiff characteristic coefficient of shear wall structure with unidirectional wall frames was derived, the deformation characteristics of structure with different wall frames ratio and height were analyzed. Through pushover analysis, the seismic performance of structures were evaluated by interlayer displacement angle and plastic hinge development process. Under earthquake action, increase of wall frames ratio will make plastic deformation increase and maximum interlayer displacement floor move down.The bottom of structure is the weak region, the short wall limbs of wall frames are the weak structural vertical members. The research results show that the wall frames bring adverse effects on the structural seismic performance, so the different design meathods should be carried out according to the overturning moment proportion of wall frames.
