Abstract:

Considering the effects of strain rate, the nonlinear dynamic response of two reinforced concrete(RC)structuresisstudied under seismic excitationsin this paper. Firstly, based on the model in a shaking table test, a three-dimensional finite element model of RC frame-shear wall structural model subjected to both horizontal and vertical component seismic excitations is established. The structural model is a three-story RC frame-shear wall structure, which consists of RC slabs, RC columns and transverse spandrel beams.Afringeframe is infilled by a RCshear wall.Then, According to the practice engineering, a multi-story RC frame structure is also established. Finally, the dynamic response of the structures is investigated using nonlinear seismic analytical method considering the effects of strain rate. These results may provide a reference for seismic design of RC structure.
