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 1997 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls are constructed by joining precast wall panels along horizontal connections using post-tensioning bars that are not bonded to the concrete. The dissertation describes the seismic design and behavior of such walls and addresses the following topics: (1) analytical modeling and behavior of the walls under lateral load; (2) a seismic design approach; (3) design of prototype walls; and (4) dynamic response of the prototype walls under earthquake loading.

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 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.
