ABSTRACT

Key words: concrete shear walls, dual systems, ETABS, lateral loads, shear deformation.

Concrete shear walls or structural walls are often used in multistory buildings to resist lateral

loads such as wind, seismic and blast loads. Such walls are used when the frame system alone is

insufficient or uneconomical to withstand all the lateral loads or when partition walls can be

made load bearing, replacing columns and beams.

The analysis of buildings with shear walls became simple using commercially available computer

programs based on the finite element method (FEM) and subsequent implementation of stress

integration techniques to arrive at generalized forces (axial, shear, and moments). On the other

hand, design engineers without such facilities or those with computer facilities lacking such

features use simple method of analysis by taking the entire dimensions of the walls. This is done

by considering the shear walls as wide columns of high moment of inertia and following the same

procedure as for columns, a structural modeling approach that leads to incorrect results.

Therefore, it is the primary purpose of this research work to correlate the results obtained from

the above simple but incorrect method of analysis and those from true wall behaviors with an

ultimate goal of providing the analysts and the designers with correction factors in order to

implement the centerline method of analysis for the analysis of walls. It is believed that structural

engineers working in the analysis and design of high- rise buildings will be benefited from the

results.

1. INTRODUCTION

Structural analysis is the process of determining the response of a structure due to specified

loading; and structural design is the process of proportioning structures under loads in order to

satisfy essential requirements of function, safety, economy, and aesthetics. Simply defined,

structural analysis is a mathematical process by which the engineer verifies the adequacy of

structure with respect to its strength and stiffness. It is not always possible or necessary to obtain

rigorous mathematical solutions for building engineering problems. In fact, rigorous analytical

solutions can be obtained only for certain simplified cases. High-rise structural problems, like

most other practical engineering problems, involve complex material property, loading, and

boundary conditions. The engineers introduce assumptions and idealizations deemed necessary to

make the problem mathematically manageable, but still capable of providing sufficiently accurate

solutions and satisfactory results from the point of view of safety and economy. They establish a

link between the real physical system and the mathematically feasible solution by providing an

analytical model which is the symbolic designation for the substitute idealized system, including

all the assumptions imposed on physical problems. Modeling techniques, therefore, can be

defined as a way to reduce, synthesize, and properly represent the structural system.

Preliminary Hand Calculation

Even in today’s high-tech computer-oriented world with all its sophisticated design capability,

there still is a need to undertake approximate analysis of structures. First, it provides a basis for

selecting preliminary member sizes because the design of a structure, no matter how simple or

complex, begins with a tentative selection of members. With the preliminary sizes, an analysis is

made to determine if design criteria are met. If not, an analysis of the modified structure is made

to improve its agreement with the requirements, and the process is continued until a design is

1
obtained with in the limits of acceptability. Starting the process with the best possible selection of

members results in a rapid convergence of the iterative process to the desired solution.

Second, because of the ever-increasing cost of labor and building materials, it is almost

mandatory for the structural engineer to compare several designs before choosing the one most

likely to be the best from the points of view of structural economy and how well it minimizes the

premium required by the mechanical, electrical, and curtain wall systems. Of the myriad

structural systems which represent themselves as possibilities, only two or three schemes may be

worthy of further refinement requiring full-blown computer solutions. Approximate methods are

all that may be required to logically arrive at cost figures and to sort out the few final contenders

from among the innumerable possibilities. It is very time consuming, costly, and indeed

unnecessary to undertake a complete sophisticated analysis for all the possible schemes.

Preliminary designs are therefore very useful in weeding out the weak solutions.

Sophisticated computer analysis are indispensable in reducing the number of inaccuracies caused

by hand analysis techniques and are being used routinely in everyday engineering practice.

Although such computer analyses may intimidate the structural engineer by virtue of their

unbelievable amount of documentation and out put, the prudent engineer will always verify the

reasonableness of the computer analysis by using approximate hand-calculated values for forces,

moments, and deflections. Approximate analysis is, therefore, a powerful tool in providing the

engineer

1. A basis for preliminary sizing of members,

2. An orderly method for evaluating several scheme to select the most likely one for further study, and

3. Methods for obtaining approximate values of forces, moments, and deflections to check on the validity

of computer solutions.

2. LATERAL LOAD RESISTING SYSTEMS

The structural systems mainly used as earthquake (or generally, lateral load) resistant structures
are:
• Frame systems
• Wall systems

• Dual systems, i.e. shear walls acting with frames

• Tubes

2.1. Rigid frame systems

Rigid frame skeletons generally consist of a rectangular grid of horizontal beams and vertical

columns connected together in the same plane by means of rigid joints. Because of its continuity,

the rigid frame responds to lateral loads primarily through flexure of the beams and columns.

This continuous character of the rigid frame is dependent on the rotational resistance of the

member connections not to permit any slippage.

In other words, a rigid frame derives its resistance to lateral loads from the rigidity of its joints. It

has no diagonal members, and once the joints are assumed to be rigid, the stiffness of the frame

becomes a function of the stiffness of the beams and columns constituting the frame.

The strength and stiffness of the frame is proportional to the beam and column size and inversely

proportional to story height and column spacing. That is, the load capacity of the frame relies

very much on the strength of the individual beams and columns; and its capacity decreases as

story height and column spacing become larger.

Under lateral loads, a rigid frame deforms in a “shear mode”. This lateral deflection of rigid

frames is caused by deflection due to bending of beams and columns resulting in shear lag.

3
In such systems the relative displacements are proportional to the shear forces; this is the reason

why these systems are called ‘shear systems’ in many literatures. The deformation of these

systems is such that they present a concave form on the side of the loading as shown in Fig. 2.1.,

below.

Fig. 2.1 Frame shear mode deformation

2.2. Shear wall systems

Outwardly, a shear wall building is in no way different from an ordinary framed building.

However, it differs significantly when it comes to transference of lateral loads. Shear walls are

vertical stiffening elements designed to resist lateral forces exerted on a building by wind or

earthquakes. Floors acting as horizontal diaphragms transmit lateral loads to the shear walls.

Great structural advantage may be taken from reinforced concrete shear walls in aseismic

construction, provided they are properly designed and detailed for strength and ductility.

Favorably positioned shear walls can be very efficient in resisting horizontal wind and earthquake

loads. The considerable stiffness of shear walls not only reduces the deflection demands on other

parts of the structure, such as beam-column joints, but may also help to insure development of all

available plastic hinge positions throughout the structure prior to failure. It is recognized that the

deflection of a shear wall, which is primarily due to bending, may be significantly affected by

4
rotation of a foundation that is on compressible soil. This effect should be included in the

deflection calculations, since it would affect load distribution. This is particularly true for

distribution between shear walls and frames, since frames deflect mainly in shear and would not

be affected to the same extent by foundation rotation.

Shear walls behave as cantilevers under the action of lateral forces. The shear distribution is

proportional to the moments of inertia of the cross-sections of the walls. The relative

displacements of the floors result from bending deformation of the walls and therefore they

present a convex form on the side of the loading, Fig. 2.2.

In many cases walls carry a major part of the seismic base shear in the case of earthquakes, while

the existing frames are designed primarily to act as a second line of defense against earthquakes,

after extensive cracking and/or failure of walls.

The main advantage offered by earthquake resisting reinforced concrete walls is the significant

increase in the stiffness of the building, which leads to a reduction of second-order effects and a

subsequent increase of safety against collapse, as well as a reduced degree of damage to non

structural elements, whose cost is often higher than that of the structural elements. Furthermore,

the significant reduction of psychological effects on the inhabitants of high rise buildings

subjected to earthquake induced displacements should be pointed out.

2.3. Rigid frame-shear wall (Dual) systems

Using only shear walls to respond to lateral loads is impractical for very high buildings. The

lateral rigidity is then greatly improved by using not only the shear wall system but also the rigid

frame to resist lateral forces.

The structural behavior of shear walls and frames being distinctly different, interaction between

them produces a mean deflection pattern and the total deflection of the interacting shear wall and

rigid frame systems is obtained by superimposing the individual modes of deformation, i.e.

- rigid frame shear mode deformation, and

- shear wall bending mode deformation

The diagram shown below, Fig. 2.3., shows the shear wall-frame interaction and the distribution

of total lateral load to the individual shear walls and frames as given by this simple interaction

diagram is valid only if one of the following two conditions is satisfied [Muto, 1974].

1. Each shear wall and frame must have constant stiffness properties throughout the height of

the building.

2. If stiffness properties vary over the height, the relative stiffness of each wall and frame must

remain unchanged throughout the height of the building.

Compatibility of the horizontal deflection introduces interaction between the two systems which

tends to impose a reverse curvature in the deflection pattern of the system. Generally speaking,

shear walls and frames have different modes of deformation under lateral loads; and if both exist

in a building, each tries to obstruct the other from developing its natural mode; and a compromise

behavior occurs with redistribution of loads between the frame and the shear wall.

It is not always easy to differentiate between the two modes of deformation. For example, under

lateral loads a frame consisting of closely spaced columns and deep beams tend to behave more

like a shear wall responding predominantly in a bending mode. Similarly, a shear wall weakened

by a row or rows of openings may tend to act more like a frame by deflecting in a shear mode.

The combined structural action, therefore, depends on the relative rigidities of different elements

used in the makeup of the lateral-load-resisting system. The coupling of the two systems into a

dual system under lateral loading, because of the completely different deformation shape of the

individual components, results in interaction forces that alter the moment and shear diagrams of

both the frame and the wall. The characteristic of this combination is that in the lower floors the

wall retains the frame while in the upper floors the frame inhibits the large displacements of the

wall. As a result the frame exhibits a small variation in storey shear between the first and the last

floors [Muto, 1974].

2. DEFORMATIONS OF SINGLE-STORIED SHEAR WALLS

Before going to the discussion of multi-storied shear walls, discussion on single-storied walls will

be made first. The single-storied sandwiched shear wall shown in Fig. 2.1., will be taken as an

example. The deformations can be classified in this case as δS from shear deformation, δB from

bending, δR from rotation, due to insufficiency of fixing of the foundation and δD from

displacement of the whole wall due to displacement of the foundation where the ground is

especially soft.

Fig. 2.4. Deformations of single-storied shear wall.

Shear Deformation: The shear stress, τ, of a wall will be distributed on the effective area, Aw, of

the wall, and the shape of the stress distribution will be in accordance with the characteristics of

I-shaped members (see Fig. 2.2.).

As shown in Fig. 2.2., when the shapes of the end columns or flanges are large, the stresses will

be distributed equally within the cross section of the web, Aw, and τmax, the stress at the center

line, will be the average shear stress as shown in the following equation

τmax=Q/Aw

8
If the sectional areas of the end columns are extremely small, it will become close to the

parabolic distribution of rectangular webs and is greatest at the center line being 1.5 times the

average.

τmax=1.5Q/Aw

Ordinarily, the actual cases will be in between and this is expressed as κ in the following equation

τmax= κ Q/Aw……………………………………………………………(2-1)

Fig. 2.5. Distribution of shear stress.

With this shear stress the wall will show a shear deformation angle and deform in a complicated

manner, but δS, the amount of deflection due to shear, can be obtained by assuming simply that

the wall is inclined at the maximum angle of deformation, γ, at the center line as shown on the

right side of Fig. 2.1., where the lines represent the centerline of the shear wall.

γ = τmax/G = κ Q/GAw

Therefore, shear deflection is

3. DEFORMATIONS OF MULTI-STORIED SHEAR WALLS

The shear walls of actual high-rise buildings are often connected with frames; but unlike a single-

storied building, the influence (boundary effect) of the connection between shear wall and frame

is great and its behavior is considerably different from that of a free-standing shear wall.

Handling of the problem, which is described later, is relatively complicated. However, deflection

properties can be readily inferred from the deflections of free-standing shear walls and the

method of calculation for free-standing shear walls is the basis of the method of calculation for

shear walls with boundary effect. For this reason, the deflection characteristics of a free-standing

shear wall will first be studied.

Similarly to the case of a single-storied shear wall, the deflection of a multi-storied shear wall

may be separated into

-Bending deformation

-Shear deformation

-Deformation due to foundation rotation and base movement.

Of the three, deformations from bending and foundation rotation become governing factors when

it comes to multiple stories. The deflection characteristics differ considerably from the deflection

characteristics of a frame, or in other words, shear-type deformation. The relative displacements

of upper stories of the shear wall are much larger than those of the lower stories, whereas in a

frame, the relative displacement is of similar magnitude for upper and lower stories.

13
Therefore, in an actual building, when lateral force is carried by the shear wall and frame, the

proportions taken up by upper and lower stories should be different. According to Kiyoshi Muto,

a fundamental study of the nature of shear force by wall and frame is presented in the paper,

Theoretical Study of Lateral Force Distribution of Multi-Storied Shear Walls (Transactions of the

Architectural Institute of Japan, No. 46, 1953) by Kiyoshi Muto and others. In the conclusion of

the paper, the following points are made clear:

(1) The practical hypothesis that there is no relation between the shear distribution

coefficient of a wall and the location of a story applied heretofore must not be used.

(2) The shear distribution coefficient is influenced by the characteristics of bending

rigidity of the wall, and in general, the shear force carried at upper stories is greatly

reduced. Particularly, when the wall is tall and slender and the bending rigidity is

small, the capacity to carry shear force not only is lost but a reverse effect is caused in

some cases and the shear forces of columns are increased.

(3) There are cases when it can be considered more effective to limit narrow shear walls

to the middle stories and refrain from extending them to upper levels.

(4) When the degree of fixture of the base is not sufficient the shear distribution

coefficient is lowered.

Until around 1950, in determining the shear distribution coefficient of a shear wall, it was the

concept to define it as the ratio by which shear due to seismic force is distributed, and without

any relation to the actual rigidity of the wall, values such as 10 times or 20 times of columns were

assumed. Kyoshi Muto with others pointed out the dangers of such assumptions and stated the

desirability of determining shear distribution coefficient by obtaining basic figures through

calculations based on rigidity.

14
As the first step of analysis, the method of calculation for a free-standing shear wall will now be

discussed.

3.1. Deformation of Free-standing Multi-storied Shear Walls

3.1.1. Deformation and Rigidity of Free-Standing Shear Walls

When a free-standing shear wall carries seismic forces, the stresses in the wall become as shown

in Fig. 3.1. The Q-diagram shows all stories with rectangular distribution and the M-diagram

with trapezoidal (triangular at top story) distribution. In the calculations, the shear and bending

deformations of the wall are first considered, after which rotation at the base and movement of

the base are figured in.

Fig. 3.1. shear wall forces

Shear Deformation: A case of n stories will be described. As in the case for a single story, a

uniform shear stress is imposed and the angle of shear deformation, γn, and the relative

displacement, δsn, are (see Fig. 3.2.).

ratio of reduction of rigidity due to inelastic deformation, β, will be

Q n hn
δ sn = κ ……………………………………………..(3-1b)
βGAwn

Fig. 3.2. Shear deformation

Bending Deformation: Bending deformation is calculated from the M/EI diagram using beam

theory. The relative displacement of story n is divided into deflection, δθn due to angle of rotation,

θn at the bottom of story n, and δMn due to bending deformation of that story (see Fig. 3.3.).

δ θn = θ n hn

where, θn: area of M/EI diagram of stories below ( ∑ Fn of diagram)

δ Mn = F ' n x n

where, F’n: area of M/EI diagram of story n

xn: distance from top end to center of gravity of F’n

From the notations in the Fig. 3.3., the equation obtained is as follows.

16
 n −1 M h  M h
δ Bn =  ∑ i i hn + n n x n …………………………………….(3-2)
 i =1 EI i  EI n

Bending deformation is small at lower stories, but at upper stories the influence of the bending

deformation of the lower stories (first term on right-hand side in Eq. (3-2)) becomes large. For

this reason, rigidity is markedly reduced at upper stories. This must be noted as a characteristic of

shear walls.

Fig. 3.3. Bending deformation

Foundation Rotation: When there is a rotation of θ at the base, the relative displacement of story

n becomes a multiple of hn. (Fig. 3.4.).

Movement of Base: When there is a movement of the base as illustrated in Fig. 3.5., the

displacements of all stories are the same and there will be no relative displacements at upper

stories. Only the first story incurs relative displacement against the original point on the ground.

The relative displacement of the first story due to movement of the base is

δ D1 = δ 0 …………………………………….(3-3)

17
Fig. 3.4. Foundation rotation Fig. 3.5. Base movement

Relative displacement does not occur at the upper stories (Fig. 3.5.).

n ≥ 2, δ Dn = 0

In other words, movement of the base increases relative displacement of the first story with the

original point on the ground as reference, but does not affect the upper stories.

Total Deformation: Thus, total deformation of a story with reference to a story below it, will be

as shown in the equation below.

Stories in general δ n = δ sn + δ Bn + δ Rn

First story δ 1 = δ s1 + δ B1 + δ R1 + δ D1 ……………………...(3-4)

For practical calculations of the shear distribution coefficients, Dn, the deformation, δ n ,

considering only shear, bending, and foundation rotation is expressed with the practical unit,

hn2/12EK, and the shear distribution coefficient is obtained from the equation below and the unit

is 12EK/hn2.

3.1.2. Deflection Properties of Free-standing Multi-storied Shear Walls:

As explained previously, the deformations of a wall are divided into those due to bending, shear,

rotation and movement of base. Of these, the deformations due to elastic deflection of the wall

are the bending and shear deformations, and their properties will be discussed here.

Shear deformation is proportional to the shear force to which a story is subjected and therefore

the properties are clear-cut. Calculations are simple since only the particular story is considered.

In contrast, bending deformation is related to the shear force applied to the particular story and

the bending moment from upper stories, and is further affected by rotation angles due to bending

of lower stories so that the characteristics are complex. The deformation is thus governed by the

location of the story and the condition of distribution of external forces above and below the

story. The effect of bending deformation becomes overwhelmingly great in walls of multiple

stories and rigidity is markedly reduced at upper stories.

In Fig. 3.6., it is shown (as given by Muto) how distributions of bending and shear deformations

differ for one-storied, five-storied and ten-storied free-standing walls of identical dimensions

with each story subjected to lateral force of 10 tons. It should be noted that with multiple stories

the proportion of bending deformation to shear deformation is extremely large, especially in the

upper stories.

19
Fig. 3.6. Examples of deformations of walls

20
For example, at the first story of the three types, the ratio of bending deformation to shear

deformation is:

Shear Bending
1-storied wall 0.079 : 0.015 = 1 : 0.19
5-storied 0.395 : 0.29 = 1 : 0.73
10-storied 0.788 : 1.15 = 1 : 1.46

showing fair amounts of difference, and it is clear that the ratio becomes larger with greater

number of stories.

Next, to make a comparison of top stories

Shear Bending
1-storied wall 0.079 : 0.015 = 1 : 0.19
5-storied 0.079 : 1.26 = 1 : 16
10-storied 0.079 : 8.87 = 1 : 112

And it is seen that bending governs deformation in multiple stories.

For a 10-storied wall, a comparison of upper and lower stories is

Shear Bending
First story 0.788 : 1.15 = 1 : 1.46
Fifth 0.473 : 7.20 = 1 : 15
Tenth 0.079 : 8.87 = 1 : 112

and it is seen that in upper stories of a multi-storied wall, bending deformation governs while the

shear deformation is negligible.

It should be noted that the higher the number of stories, the markedly greater are the relative

displacements of the upper stories compared with those of the lower stories, and that rigidities are

greatly reduced. According to Muto, in consideration of this characteristic, it can be shown that a

slender (e. g. 6m) free-standing shear wall used in a multi-storied building (e. g. 10 stories) does

not possess the ability to withstand seismic forces due to the reduction in rigidity at upper stories.

In order to obtain a strong shear wall, it must be made a broad wall or the aid of boundary effect

of a continuous frame must be utilized.

21
3.2. Lateral Rigidity of Shear Walls.

In the study of deformation of a free-standing shear wall, it has been found that deformation is

large and rigidity is markedly reduced when there is influence of bending deflection. This section

discusses how shear force is carried when a shear wall is joined to a frame in order that these

points may be better understood.

The case of a shear wall and frame joined at each floor and showing identical horizontal

displacements is taken assuming that the wall shows bending and shear deformation. It is

considered that the deformation of the frame is represented by the D-value. The case of uniform

distribution of horizontal load is taken and the characteristics of the distribution of shear force

between wall and columns of frame are studied mathematically. The equation is expressed with a

difference equation, but for convenience of handling, a differential equation is used as this is

thought to be adequate for study in the case of multiple stories.

As a basis, the differential equation for a joined wall and frame is derived. For a case of both wall

and frame having uniform cross sections, solutions are sought assuming fixed base.

sum of the stiffness ratios of the beams on the left and right.

coefficients, a, and b, in the equation are determined from only bending stiffness ratio, RM, and

shear stiffness ratio, RQ, of wall to frame and are in forms which make it easy to grasp their

physical meanings.

4. MODELING OF SHEAR WALL SYSTEMS

The first step in the analysis of building structures is to idealize the structure in to a three

dimensional assemblage of vertical columns and horizontal beams at each floor. In common with

other modeling techniques, the analogous model must be able to simulate the significant

characteristics of the prototype. The modeling of columns and beams is a straightforward

procedure, but particular care is needed in modeling shear walls. In the case of shear walls it is

necessary to duplicate the bending, shear, and axial stiffness of the corresponding wall segment.

It can be seen that in the case of a coupled shear wall system subjected to horizontal loads, each

wall has a tendency to rotate about its base as a vertical cantilever, producing relative

displacements between adjacent wall panels. The interconnecting beams or slabs which react to

diminish the relative displacement are subjected to shear forces and bending moments. In a broad

sense, the action of the shear wall system is thus similar to that of the moment resisting frame.

Appreciation of this similarity of behavior lead to the development of the equivalent frame

concept nearly three decades ago, which even today is one of the most popular methods for

idealizing shear walls.

To simulate the shear wall system as an equivalent frame it is necessary to assume the following

characteristics:

1. Line element of the equivalent frame extended through the center of gravity of the wall

panels and beams

2. The cross sectional properties (except moment of inertia) of the columns are identical to

those of the wall panels

31
3. In the wide column analogy with rigid offsets, it is assumed that in representing the beams of

the adjacent frame, the portions of the beam falling with in the wall limits are considered as

haunches with large areas and moments of inertia. The purpose of stiff haunches is to

safeguard the deflection and rotation of beam ends without bending within the wall panel.

The properties of the beams adjacent to the wall panel are made the same as those of the

corresponding beams. The equivalent beam in the frame thus has a flexible length having the

same property as the corresponding beam up to the wall panel and infinitely stiff haunches

occurring within the limits of the wall.

In modeling the wall as a wide column with haunches, the actual value of sectional areas and

flexural stiffness of the walls are assigned to the column. In the case of centerline columns

with modified (or effective) moments of inertia, i.e. in the method which is going to be

developed at the end of this work, the sectional areas of walls are assigned to the columns,

but the rigid haunches and the flexible parts of the adjacent beams are replaced by their

equivalent beam members with modified stiffnesses. In other words, the effect of the beam

rigidity with in the wall limits is accounted for in the stiffness of the adjacent beams and a

modified stiffness is calculated for the beams. Hence, in this model, particular care is required

in handling the rigid beams with in the limits of the shear wall. And it is relatively easy to

consider the shear deformation of the wall element by assigning equivalent shear areas to the

column. All these three properties represent well all the bending, axial, and shear deformation

of the wall element.

32
4.1. Shear Walls Connected with Frames

A case of frames connected to a shear wall will now be studied. The deflection characteristics in

such a case can be considered as deformations from bending and foundation rotation in a free-

standing shear wall being restrained by beams connected to the wall. However, the restraint in

this case is generally not as strong as for coupled shear walls. The fact that large stresses occur at

the beams connected to the shear wall is the same as for the case of coupled shear walls, but

besides this, there are also concentrations of stress at adjoining columns due to forced

deformation from the wall so that special calculations are necessary for these portions. In this

section, examples of stresses and deformations in this type of shear wall are first shown after

which a general method of analysis will be described.

4.2. Stress and Deformation of Shear Wall Connected to Frames

Calculations of forces and deformations obtained by an approximate method for a shear wall

connected with frames as in Fig. 4-1 will be shown.

Fig. 4.1. Shear wall connected to frame

33
Approximate method of handling resistance of coplanar frame:

When lateral force is applied to framework as shown in Fig.4.1., the deformations and moments

will be as given in Fig.4.2., and the wall is subjected to restraint from non walled frames

connected around it. This restraint is due to resistance from the coplanar frame and the

perpendicular frame, of which, for the coplanar frame an approximate method as indicated below

is used to simplify the analysis of the wall.

Fig. 4.2. Deformations and moments of wall and coplanar frame.

In effect, the resistance of the coplanar frame is considered to be the action of beams directly

connected to the wall, and in regard to these beams:

“the rotation angles and the deformations in the vertical direction at joints of columns adjoining

the wall are neglected.” [Muto, 1974]

By doing so, the relation between the rotation angle of the wall (on the centroid line) and the

resisting moment of the beam is obtained in simplified form. The resisting moment, MR, of an

34
adjoining beam when there is a rotation angle, θ, at the wall centerline will be as follows (see Fig.

4.3.):

MR = MA + QAB * la

= MA+ (MA + MB) * la/l………………………………………..(4-1)

(l: length of beam, la: distance between centroid line and wall end)

where

MA=2EKkB (2θA-3RAB)……………………………………………………...(4-2a)

:bending moment at wall-side joint of beam

(kB: stiffness ratio of beam)

MB=2EKkB (θA-3RAB)……………………………………………………….(4-2b)

:bending moment at opposite-side joint of beam

Fig. 4.3. Deformations Moments


θA is the rotation angle at point A and is equal to rotation angle, θ, of the wall (rotation angle of

point C), while RAB is the rotation angle of the beam and there is a relation of

RAB = - la/l * θ…………………………….........(4-3)

so that inserting these in Eq. (4-2a) and further substituting them into Eq. (4-1), the following

equation is obtained:

35
MR = 4EKθ * kBe………………………………(4-4)

In other words, the effects of the rigid haunches with in the limits of the wall, Fig. 4.4.,

are considered to modify the stiffnesses of the adjacent beams.

5. EFFECTIVE STIFFNESS OF SHEAR WALLS CONNECTED TO FRAMES

As a basis, the equivalent center line column for a free standing shear wall subjected to any type

of loading can be taken as a column with all its section properties equal to the properties of the

wall. This is true assuming the wall to be restrained laterally. Hence the whole cross-section of

the wall can be taken as a reference and as if it is effectively resisting the applied loads.

However, in cases where the wall is used in dual systems, some part of its stiffness is shared by

the attached frame, in the sense that the connected frame resists some part of the external load. As

a result, the stiffness of the wall is not effectively used in resisting the externally applied load.

This reduction in stiffness of the wall is directly proportional to the resistance offered by the

frame which in turn is directly proportional to the reduction in rotation and lateral drift from that

of a free standing shear wall.

In other words, assuming the deformations to be induced by the shear wall, the resistance by the

frame, which is the load exerted by the shear wall through deflection, makes the wall not to

effectively use its stiffness. This resistance by the frame is directly proportional to the reduction

in lateral and rotational deflections of the shear wall. And this shows that there is a direct

relationship between the reduction in stiffness of the wall and the reduction in deflections of the

wall.

From the derived relation in previous sections of this report, for a shear wall acting in dual

systems, it can be seen that the lateral drift and rotation for wall-beam junction of each story can

be calculated.

37
Calculation of correction factors

To calculate the correction factors to be applied to shear walls, the following assumptions are

made:

• All the deformations are considered as if they are forced deformations by the shear wall.

• Each shear wall panel at each story is taken independently when applying the correction

factors.

According to the above assumptions, the shear wall and beam correction factors are obtained by

following the procedure below.

1. Considering bending and shear deformations, the deformation, δ, and rotation, θ, as a free

standing shear wall are first calculated neglecting the boundary effects of adjacent frames,

Eqs. (3-16) and (3-17), respectively.

2. Next, the beam end moment, M, and the horizontal beam reaction, P, when a boundary

beam is forcibly attached to this deformed condition are considered and the corrected

deformations, due to both M and P are calculated, Eq. (3-28) and its first derivative. (see

Fig. 5.1.)

(a) (b) (c)

Fig. 5.1. Deformation of shear wall.

38
3. The differences of deformations obtained in steps (1) and (2) above are the reduction in

deformations due to the resistance of the adjacent frame. Then, using Eq. (2-8) of chapter-

Where DW is the total wall stiffness

DS is the total wall shear stiffness

DB is the total wall bending stiffness

where

δ S and δ B are the shear and rotational deformations of the free standing shear wall,

respectively, and

∆δ S and ∆δ B are the changes in shear deformation and rotation of the dual system

due to the resistance of frame, respectively.

6. As a last step, the correction factor obtained in Eq. (5-6) is directly applied to the flexural

stiffness of the wall, i.e. moment of inertia of the wall, taking the direct relationship

between DW and flexural stiffness of the wall into consideration.

6. ANALYSIS EXAMPLES

As an example, different cases of dual (mixed) building systems and their equivalent frames are

analyzed using Extended Three dimensional Analysis of Building Systems (ETABS) and the

results are included in this report which is believed to be self explanatory where the results are

written for members in order from left to right and from top to bottom. The examples taken

include from a single- story, single-span dual system up to a system with six stories and three

bays. In the analysis example made, wall widths of 2m and 6m with a thickness of 0.2m are

As can be seen from the analysis examples, the results obtained from the two methods are very

close to each other and show very minor differences. Possible sources of these minor differences

between the two results obtained from the finite element based program and its equivalent frame

are:

• Approximate coefficients by Muto are used in the derivation and hence may lead to

errors.

• The results obtained using ETABS are those at faces of joints, even when no rigid offsets

are considered.

• The complex interaction between the shear and bending behavior of the wall, i.e. the

interaction between shear and flexural stiffness of the shear wall.

• The assumption made to modify the stiffness of the adjacent beam.

• The assumption that the lateral loads at story levels are taken as if it is uniform throughout

the height, even between story levels.

• Rounding of significant figures in calculating the different coefficients used to obtain the

correction factors.

7. COMMENTARY

• The analysis model for a solid wall element should represent the strength, stiffness, and

deformation capacity of the wall for in-plane loading. Out-of-plane behavior need not be

considered, except where the wall acts as a flange for an intersecting wall element. Solid

walls may be considered “slender” if their aspect ratio (height/length) is equal to or

exceeds 4. Solid walls may be considered “squat” if their aspect ratio is less than or equal

to 2. Slender walls usually are controlled by flexural behavior, although shear strength

may be a limiting factor in some cases. Squat walls usually are controlled by shear

behavior, although flexure sometimes may be a limiting factor. The response of walls

with intermediate aspect ratios usually is influenced by both flexure and shear.

• Potential failure of anchorages and splices, interaction with other elements including

nonstructural elements, and sliding along construction joints which limits the shear

capacity of the wall may require modeling as well. Where sliding shear strength at a

horizontal construction joint limits the shear capacity of the wall, this behavior can be

modeled with a yielding spring in series with the wall panel. Besides, Walls can develop

inelastic response associated with flexure, shear, development splices, and foundation

rotations. The analytical model should represent the likely modes of inelastic response,

too.

• If a wall yields in flexure, or if the foundation yields, continued lateral deformations

involve plastic rotations centered near the compression toe of the wall, with uplift

occurring toward the tension side. The equivalent column model cannot represent this

effect, as the equivalent column is located at the wall centerline rather than the toe. This

74
can lead to inaccuracies in representing interactions with adjacent components that may

be affected by uplift.

Where interactions with adjacent elements are considered important, it may be preferable

to represent the wall by using more-sophisticated techniques that represent the width of

the wall. According to a literature I found from internet, multi-spring models (Otani 1980;

Vulcano et al. 1989; Otani et al. 1985; Alami and Wight 1992; Charney 1991) may be

considered. These models use two or three vertical springs to represent the axial and

flexural stiffnesses and strengths of the wall, plus at least one horizontal or diagonal

spring to represent the shear stiffness and strength of the wall. Other models that

adequately account for flexural, shear, and rigid-body deformations also may be used. The

model of the connection between the wall and foundation will depend on details of the

wall-foundation connection and the rigidity of the soil-foundation system.

• In the equivalent frame with no rigid beams, only the boundary effects of coplanar frames

are considered, however, boundary effects of frames connected perpendicularly to the

wall should also be included in the three dimensional modeling of walls.

• In this study, considerations such as plane (2-D) dual systems, fixed foundation, uniform

sections of walls and frames, system subjected to in-plane uniform lateral load, p, are

taken. In cases where different conditions are encountered, it is relatively easy to extend

the derivations to fulfill those conditions.

8. CONCLUSION

Generally speaking, as shown in this study, the center line equivalent columns of a shear wall

depend on factors such as total height, width, and thickness of wall; story height; frame stiffness,

i.e. beam and column stiffnesses, etc. Hence a general conclusion with regard to the effective

stiffness of a shear wall can not be made, except the fact that it will be reduced when the wall is

attached to coplanar frames. In order to know the effective stiffness of the shear wall, detailed but

very simple calculations have to first be made.

The results obtained using this method were compared with results obtained using wide column

analogy (with rigid haunches) and with results using braced-wide-column analogy (with coarse

mesh elements of story-height and wall-width) and the results obtained are more close to the

accurate results from ETABS than the other two.

An analysis using the aforementioned modeling technique with judicious use of equivalent center

line column gives results (forces and displacements) which are very close to the accurate results

obtained from the finite element-based software. Commercially available frame analysis

programs can be used for this purpose without resorting to finite element programs. However, use

of a finite element analysis may still be preferable for complex shear core systems.
