Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | Engineering structures, 315 (Art N° 118429) | Abstract: | The seismic behaviour of hybrid coupled walls (HCWs) made of a single reinforced concrete (RC) wall connected to two steel side columns through steel links, named as single-pier HCWs (SP-HCWs), is studied through nonlinear finite element simulations. The design concept is that the steel links are intended to work as dissipative elements while the steel side columns and the RC wall should remain elastic. Given that previous studies highlighted difficulties in avoiding damage at the base of the RC wall due to the concentration of bending moment, this study focuses on a special configuration providing very limited damage at the base of the RC wall that could be rapidly and economically repaired. The original scheme of SP-HCW with fixed base is modified introducing a hinged connection combined with vertical steel elements, called corner components. A ductile design methodology is proposed and applied for proportioning 54 case studies with different building heights, coupling ratios, height-to-length ratios of the RC wall, in addition to different base conditions (fixed base, hinged base with corner components designed as non-dissipative elements, hinged base with corner components designed as dissipative elements). Results of nonlinear finite element analyses validate the design methodology and highlight the potentialities of the proposed solutions, showing the benefits of a hinged base with corner components. | Keywords: | Steel and concrete hybrid structures;Steel structures;Dissipative links;Seismic design;Seismic -resistant structures | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/43390 | ISSN: | 0141-0296 | e-ISSN: | 1873-7323 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.engstruct.2024.118429 | ISI #: | 001259541100001 | Rights: | 2024 The Author(s).
