Influence of the Opening’s Position on Seismic Performance of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Composite Wall with Core Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

To study the seismic performance of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block masonry composite wall with reinforced concrete (RC) columns, a non-linear finite element analysis has been carried out for the walls with openings using the finite element software ABAQUS. First results of finite element analysis were verified with experiment results of full-scale specimen. And then the effect of the opening’s position on seismic performance was studied with finite element analysis. The result indicates that the ultimate load capacity and ultimate displacement are both increased with the upward and outward movement of the openings.
