The Equivalent Width Of Shear Wall In Bending At Non-planar

This dissertation is a part of the research project named "Analytical Models on the Out-of-plane Seismic Response of a Reinforced Concrete Wall-beam Joint" which is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The mechanical problems and equivalent analytical models of the reinforced concrete non-planar beam-wall joint were studied theoretically and numerically in this dissertation.Along with the continuous development of structures, there comes out many new structures, such as the initial load-bearing wall structure, the frame structure, the shear wall structure, the shell structure, the frame-shear wall structure, etc. In this paper, some problems related to the force in the frame-shear wall structure or in the shell structure under the non-planar bending condition are studied.The connection of the beam and the shear wall can be divided into two types: one is the connecting in the plane and another is the connecting out of the plane. At present, the connecting study are very mature in the plane both at home and abroad, however, the connecting study at the non-plane are relatively less than in the plane. The finite element numerical simulation and experimental study are the main methods by most ofthe studiers, but they don't have theoretical studies as a basis.In this paper, the following four aspects based on the current research condition are conducted:1. The calculation formula of the equivalent width in the shear wall at the non-planar by sheet theories is derived.2. The calculation formula of stiffness is simplified and compared with the previous research works.3. The shear wall is numerically studied by using the finite element simulation software Ansys10.0.4. Theoretical calculation is compared with the experiment results.
