Analysis of Vertically Oriented Coupled Shear Wall Interconnected with Coupling Beams

Vikram Singh, Keshav Sangle

Abstract


The nonlinear static response of a vertically oriented coupled wall subjected to horizontal loading is presented in this research article. The 3 storey vertically oriented coupled wall interconnected with coupling beams is modelled as solid elements in a finite element (FE) software named Abaqus CAE and the steel reinforcement is modelled as a wire element. For simulation of concrete models, a concrete damaged plasticity constitutive model is taken into consideration in this research. Moreover, with the help of concrete damage plasticity parameters, validation of two rectangular planar walls was executed with an error of less than 10 percent. Finally, these parameters are used for modeling and analyzing the static behavior of coupled walls connected with coupling beams. Furthermore, the maximum unidirectional horizontal loading helped in obtaining the compression and tensile damage as well as scalar stiffness degradation. Significantly, the research also found the plastic hinge location in the coupled wall as well as in the coupling beam, which are of utmost importance in nonlinear analysis.
