Abstract:
Based on equilibrium and compatibility conditions, as well as a new stress-strain relationship for softened concrete, a truss model theory was presented in the first paper of a series to predict the static shear behavior of low-rise reinforced concrete structural walls. The theory was compared to tests of 23 shearwalls and was found to be applicable throughout the loading history. In the second paper of the series, a direct solution of the load-deflection relationship was obtained such that a simple procedure could be recommended for the static shear design of low-rise structural walls. In this, the third paper in the series, the dynamic shear response of low-rise structural walls is predicted using the proposed hysteresis loops and the linear acceleration step-by-step method. Furthermore, a procedure is recommended for the dynamic shear design of low-rise structural walls and is illustrated by a design example.
