Book Steel Plate Shear Walls with Gravity Load  Theory and Design

Download or read book Steel Plate Shear Walls with Gravity Load Theory and Design written by Yang Lv and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written by subject experts based on the recent research results in steel plate shear walls considering the gravity load effect. It establishes a vertical stress distribution of the walls under compression and in-plane bending load and an inclination angle of the tensile field strip. The stress throughout the inclined tensile strip, as we consider the effect of the vertical stress distribution, is determined using the von Mises yield criterion. The shear strength is calculated by integrating the shear stress along the width. The proposed theoretical model is verified by tests and numerical simulations. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of structural engineering can benefit from the book. As such, this book provides valuable knowledge, useful methods, and practical algorithms that can be considered in practical design of building structures adopting a steel shear wall system.

Book Steel Plate Shear Walls for Low and Moderate Seismic Regions and Industrial Plants

Download or read book Steel Plate Shear Walls for Low and Moderate Seismic Regions and Industrial Plants written by Hassan Moghimi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel plate shear walls have traditionally been perceived to be suitable mainly for high seismic regions due to their great ductility and cyclic energy dissipation capacity. Therefore, design and detailing requirements have become increasingly onerous in an attempt to maximize their performance, effectively making the system uneconomical in other regions. Developing applications specifically for low and moderate seismic regions has largely been neglected by researchers. Moreover, despite unique advantages of the system in terms of inherent high ductility and redundancy, its performance under accidental blast has not been investigated systematically. The objective of this research is to examine these neglected areas. Different practical details are investigated to reduce the force demands on the boundary frame of the wall system and ultimately reduce the construction cost in low seismic regions. A seismic zone-independent performance-based design method is developed and the efficiency of each detail is studied using comprehensive finite element simulations. It was found that suitable details for low seismic applications include simple beam-to-column connections, modular construction, and adopting a more liberal design philosophy for the columns. A large-scale two-story steel plate shear wall test specimen was designed based on the efficient details for the limited-ductility performance application and tested under gravity load concurrent with cyclic lateral loads. The test results are used to assess its overall seismic performance and verify the efficiency of the proposed design philosophy and selected details. The specimen, overall and in its details, showed excellent performance with high ductility. The nature of the infill plate forces applied to the boundary frame members is discussed in detail, and the reasons for achieving conservative column design forces in current capacity design methods are described. A performance-based capacity design method for the wall system is proposed and the target performance level is defined in terms of ductility and redundancy. Based on new and previous experimental data, a holistic and sound set of principles for capacity design of steel plate shear walls for three different performance levels--including limited-ductility, moderately ductile, and ductile--along with their design provisions, are developed. The method is applied to design examples and verified against experimental results. Another objective of this research was to explore the possible application of steel plate shear walls as a protective structure in industrial plants. Advanced and comprehensive numerical models that take into account important issues affecting the blast design are developed. The blast performance of the system is investigated by means of iso-response curves for both in-plane and out-of-plane blast orientations and different response parameters. An analytical normalization method is proposed that produces dimensionless iso-response curves.

Book Resilient Structures and Infrastructure

Download or read book Resilient Structures and Infrastructure written by Ehsan Noroozinejad Farsangi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses resilience in terms of structures’ and infrastructures’ responses to extreme loading conditions. These include static and dynamic loads such as those generated by blasts, terrorist attacks, seismic events, impact loadings, progressive collapse, floods and wind. In the last decade, the concept of resilience and resilient-based structures has increasingly gained in interest among engineers and scientists. Resilience describes a given structure’s ability to withstand sudden shocks. In other words, it can be measured by the magnitude of shock that a system can tolerate. This book offers a valuable resource for the development of new engineering practices, codes and regulations, public policy, and investigation reports on resilience, and provides broad and integrated coverage of the effects of dynamic loadings, and of the modeling techniques used to compute the structural response to these loadings.

Book Seismic Performance and Design of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Low Yield Point Steel Infill Plates

Download or read book Seismic Performance and Design of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Low Yield Point Steel Infill Plates written by Tadeh Zirakian and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have been frequently used as the primary or part of the primary lateral force-resisting system in design of low-, medium-, and high-rise buildings. Their application has been based on two different design philosophies as well as detailing strategies. Stiffened and/or stocky-web SPSWs with improved buckling stability and high seismic performance have been mostly used in Japan, which is one of the pioneering countries in design and application of these systems. Unstiffened and slender-web SPSWs with relatively lower buckling and energy dissipation capacities, on the other hand, have been deemed as a rather economical alternative and accordingly widely used in the United States and Canada. Development and use of low yield point (LYP) steel with considerably low yield stress and high elongation capacity provides the possibility to combine merits of these two distinctive design strategies, and consequently result in rather cost-effective and high-performing SPSW systems. Although some reported studies have demonstrated the advantages of LYP steel shear walls, various aspects of structural and seismic characteristics of these systems have not been investigated thoroughly. In particular, the linkage between structural specifications and seismic performance and pathway to performance-based design of these systems are largely undeveloped. Hence, systematic investigations are required to facilitate the seismic design and prevalent application of such promising lateral force-resisting and energy dissipating systems. Although some reported studies have demonstrated the advantages of LYP steel shear walls, various aspects of structural and seismic characteristics of these systems have not been investigated thoroughly. In particular, the linkage between structural specifications and seismic performance and pathway to performance-based design of these systems are largely undeveloped. Hence, systematic investigations are required to facilitate the seismic design and prevalent application of such promising lateral force-resisting and energy dissipating systems. The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the structural behavior and seismic performance of unstiffened LYP steel shear wall systems in a rather comprehensive manner. To achieve these objectives, element-level investigations on steel plates, component-level investigations on SPSW panels, and system-level investigations on multi-story steel frame-shear wall structures are performed in a hierarchical and systematic manner. Through detailed element- and component-level investigations, it is shown that employment of LYP steel infill plates in SPSW systems facilitates the design and effectively improves the buckling stability, serviceability, and energy absorption capacity of such lateral force-resisting systems. Some practical design tools and recommendations are also provided through analytical and numerical studies. In system-level investigations, the effectiveness of use of LYP steel material in design and retrofit construction is demonstrated through nonlinear time-history analysis as well as seismic response and performance assessment of multi-story structures subjected to earthquake ground motions representing various hazard levels. Ultimately, the fragility methodology is utilized by developing appropriate fragility functions for probabilistic seismic performance and vulnerability assessment of structures designed and retrofitted with conventional and LYP steel infill plates. The results of this study are indicative of relatively lower damage probability and superior seismic performance of LYP steel shear wall systems.
