Seismic Behavior Of R/C Non-Structural Walls

Abstract eng:
Typically, in apartment houses, there are large openings in the walls facing a balcony or corridor. In small apartment houses, the structural contribution of these walls to the building’s seismic response is negligible because these walls are quite small. However, in large apartment buildings, which have relatively large walls, the effect the walls to the building’s seismic behavior can be substantial. Loading tests were conducted on three steel frame – RC wall specimens to investigate the structural behavior of these walls, and to create numerical models useful for frame analyses based on the test results presented in this paper and other reference.
