This book was released on 2005 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the satisfactory response of the unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete jointed wall system tested for seismic performance as part of the PREcast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) test building, a set of design guidelines was published. Based on these guidelines, Thomas & Sritharan (2003) developed a procedure to analyze the unbonded jointed wall systems. The primary objective of this research is to improve this analysis procedure so that it can be applied to analyze both unbonded post-tensioned single walls and jointed wall systems. Using the experimental data from PRESSS test building, ATLSS research center single wall tests, the accuracy of this analysis procedure and that based on the monolithic beam analogy (MBA) are examined. It was found that both the analysis methods predicted the moment resistance of the walls adequately at the given base rotation. Based on these analysis procedures, revised set of design guidelines are proposed for design of precast jointed wall systems with unbonded post-tensioning steel. A detailed investigation on the influence of several wall parameters on the lateral load behavior of jointed wall system is conducted and a new jointed wall concept refer to as the "jointed wall-column (JWC) system" is proposed. It is shown by analysis that, the JWC system will be more economical than that of an equivalent jointed wall system tested in the PRESSS building.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the satisfactory response of the unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete wall system tested for seismic performance as part of the PREcast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) test building, a set of design guidelines was published. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the adequacy of the design guidelines and make appropriate recommendations so that the guidelines can be adopted for design of jointed walls in seismic regions. The test data to date on such systems are those collected during the wall direction testing of the PRESSS test building. Hence, this data set has been employed in the validation process. Furthermore, in order to validate the design guidelines over a range of lateral drift levels, an analytical procedure was first developed by reversing the suggested guidelines. Additionally, because of the shortcomings associated with the use of the equivalent stress block concept in design, an alternative analysis method was also considered, which was based on the monolithic beam analogy recommended for jointed systems. The analytical results from monotonic loading were compared to experimental response of the wall established from the PRESSS test building. It was found that both the analysis methods based on PRESSS and MBA predicted the moment response of the wall adequately. However, utilizing the PRESSS guidelines it was found that the neutral axis depth was overestimated by over 100% and the post-tensioning elongation was underestimated by 26%. It was also revealed that the frame contributed to the moment resistance in the wall direction by as much as 25%.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In unbonded post-tensioned frames, the beam-column connection is constructed by post-tensioning the beams to the columns using strands or bars that are not bonded to the concrete. The clamping force between beam and column provides vertical shear force transfer at the interface between the beam and column, so corbels are not needed. This type of construction provides ductile connections, where under seismic loading, nonlinear behavior occurs in the connections, and the beams and columns remain elastic.
Book Synopsis Seismic Response of Buildings that Utilise Unbonded Post-Tensioned Concrete Walls by : Jonathan Watkins (‡c (PhD))

This book was released on 2017 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls are a low-damage seismic resisting system that resist lateral loads by rocking at the wall base. This thesis addresses the uncertainty that wall-to-floor interaction can have on the seismic response and performance of buildings that use such wall systems. A computational model was developed and verified to accurately calculate the bi-directional lateral-load response of isolated post-tensioned concrete walls. The wall model was extended to represent a previously tested full scale, four storey building with post-tensioned concrete walls. The building model accurately captured the measured response of the test building that was subjected to increasing intensities of earthquake motion on a tri-directional shake-table. To accurately capture the seismic response of the building the model must represent the in-plane and out-of-plane floor behaviour, account for cracking of the floor, and represent the stiffness of the precast concrete floor units. Wall-to-floor interaction resulted in deformations that were concentrated in the link slab between the wall and adjacent precast floor unit of the test building. This deformation resulted in significant over-strength demands on the wall and column, which the dynamic loading further increased. During the 1995 Kobe earthquake motion the peak wall base shear from the building model was 110% greater compared to the same building model that did not account for wall-to-floor interaction or dynamic loading. A parametric study of the building model found that increasing the rib depth of the precast floor elements or the thickness of the floor resulted in significantly greater over-strength demands compared to the original building. The results of the parametric study confirmed that if the effects of wall-to-floor interaction are not considered as part of the design process, the inelastic mechanisms that develop when a building is subjected to an earthquake may be different than predicted and result in undesirable failure modes An innovative wall-to-floor connector that could eliminate the adverse effects of wall-to-floor interaction was experimentally subjected to the combination of vertical displacement and shear forces they would experience in a major earthquake. Within their design limits the connectors performed well and effectively isolated the floor from the walls vertical displacement while transferring shear force from the floor to the wall.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past earthquakes have shown examples of unsatisfactory performance of buildings using reinforced concrete structural walls as the primary lateral-force-resisting system. In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, examples can be found where walls possessed too much overstrength, leading to unintended failure of collectors and floor systems, including precast and post-tensioned construction. In the 2010 Maule Chile earthquake, many structural wall buildings sustained severe damage. Although Chilean design standards result in different reinforcement detailing than is common in U.S. walls, the failure patterns raise concerns about how well conventionally reinforced structural walls in U.S. buildings will perform during the next earthquake. Alternative wall design philosophies that offer more predictable response, with better damage control, should be investigated. After the Mw 8.8 Chile earthquake, the 15-story Alto Rio building in Concepción sustained failures near the base, overturned, and came to rest on its side. The collapse of the Alto Rio building was significant because it was designed using the Chilean Building Code NCh433. Of96, which requires the use of ACI 318-95 for design of reinforced concrete structural elements intended to resist design seismic forces. The failure of the Alto Rio building is significant for many reasons. It is the first modern shear wall building of its type to collapse by overturning during an earthquake. The building is studied using forensic data and structural models of the framing system subjected to earthquake shaking. The study identifies the likely failure mechanism and suggests areas for which design and detailing practices could be improved. The capabilities and shortcomings of the analyses to identify details of the failure mechanism are themselves important outcomes of the study. A second study explores the behavior of structural wall buildings using unbonded post-tensioned structural walls. Such walls offer the opportunity to better control yielding mechanisms and promote self-centering behavior. The study focuses on the measured responses of a full-scale, four-story building model tested on the E-Defense shaking table in Japan. The seismic force-resisting system of the test building comprised two post-tensioned (PT) precast frames in one direction and two unbonded PT precast walls in the other direction. The building was designed using the latest code requirements and design recommendations available both in Japan and the U.S., including the ACI ITG-5.2-09. The test building was subjected to several earthquake ground motions, ranging from serviceability level to near collapse. Analytical studies were carried out to test the capability of the structural models to replicate behaviors important to structural engineers, and to assess whether available analysis tools are sufficient to model dynamic behavior that results when a full-scale building is subjected to realistic earthquake ground shaking. Measured response data from such an outstanding test provides an opportunity to fully understand the response characteristics of PT walls and assess the ability of nonlinear analytical models to reproduce important global and local responses, including three-dimensional system interactions, both prior to and after loss of significant lateral strength. Moreover, this study to assess behavior and system interaction of PT walls leads to improvements of the current design ideas and performance expectations. The present study examines both the collapse of the Alto Rio building in Chile and the shaking table tests of the unbonded post-tensioned wall building in Japan. The collapse study suggests areas of improvement in current design and detailing practice. The shaking table study suggests an alternative approach to design of shear walls in buildings. Both studies demonstrate the use of modern structural analysis tools to interpret building responses to earthquake shaking. Taken together, the studies provide added confidence in earthquake simulation capabilities and demonstrate alternatives for designing earthquake-resistant buildings that use structural walls.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research in this thesis was conducted with the primary aim of advancing the current state of knowledge of unbonded Post-Tensioned (PT) precast concrete rocking walls. Emphasis was placed on systematically investigating both the static and dynamic experimental response of Single Rocking Wall (SRW) and Precast Wall with End Columns (PreWEC) systems. Using the experimental data generated, simple numerical modelling techniques were investigated and the Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) process was verified. The experimental programme consisted of component tests on modified energy dissipating Oconnectors and pseudo-static cyclic, snap back, and shake table testing on a selection of SRW and PreWEC systems. The unique experimental investigation into the cyclic response of an improved O-connector confirmed the suitability of the O-connector as a cost effective energy dissipater that is able to demonstrate stable hysteretic behaviour while being easy to install and replace. The focus of the wall tests was on assessing the general wall response and design, the influence of the O-connectors on the wall panel, initial stiffness and fundamental frequency, equivalent viscous damping and residual drifts from different loading types. During the wall tests only minor damage and negligible residual drifts were observed which confirmed the desirable seismic behaviour of SRW and PreWEC systems under both static and dynamic loads. An investigation was performed using a simple single degree of freedom numerical model to provide recommendations on appropriate damping schemes that are able to emulate the seismic response of SRW and PreWEC systems that were validated using the shake table test results. The numerical analyses indicated that good estimation of the seismic response could be attained when using 2% tangent stiffness proportional damping in combination with a hysteretic behaviour calibrated to the cyclic hysteresis. Lastly, an assessment of current methods used for determining the equivalent viscous damping for unbonded PT walls systems in the current DDBD framework was performed. A current method based on the weighted contribution of an unbonded PT only system and a purely dissipative system was found to produce good results when used with the proposed bilinear force-displacement idealisation based on an effective stiffness.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propped Rocking Wall (PRW) is an innovative technology which combines passive damping with unbonded post-tensioned rocking concrete walls. This system has been proposed to reduce economic losses associated with earthquakes by returning a building to a functional state following a design seismic event. The proposed seismic force-resisting system consists of a slender unbonded post-tensioned concrete wall which is "propped" near the top with multi-story diagonal steel braces equipped with passive supplemental damping devices. In this study, a closed-form solution was derived for the global hysteretic response of the PRW system and a parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different structural parameters involved. A seismic Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) procedure for buildings equipped with PRW systems was then developed. The proposed design procedure was first evaluated through a comparative study between the seismic performance of the introduced system as opposed to a similar system called Propped Shear Walls (PSW) from which the proposed system was originally inspired. The adequacy of the proposed DDBD procedure and further the performance of PRWs were then evaluated through a shake table testing program. Detailed modeling of the PRW test model was developed and validated with shake table test results. Numerical modeling of the PRW on the prototype scale was further adopted and used in a seismic vulnerability assessment study based on the Methodology presented in FEMA P695. Design verifications were then extended to taller buildings equipped with the proposed Propped Rocking Wall (PRW) system. For this purpose, the seismic response of an 8-story building was evaluated against the predetermined performance objectives set in the beginning of the design procedure. In addition, the sensitivity of the response parameters under consideration to three main design parameters was studied.
