| Abstract |
The major objective of this paper is to propose a nonlinear finite element analysis(FEA) model of steel coupling beam-reinforced concrete wall connections with panel shear failure mode using ABAQUS. Detailed finite element models are created by studying the monotonic load response of the designed steel coupling beam-wall connections. The developed models account for the effects of material inelasticity, concrete cracking, panel shear failure and geometric nonlinearity. In order to verify the proposed FEA model, the FEA included the reinforcement details that confer a ductile behaviour in connection between steel coupling beam and shear wall, i.e., the face bearing plates(FBP), and horizontal ties. The analytical results were validated through comparisons with the experimental results and ASCE Design Guidelines. The analysis showed good agreement between the design guideline and experimental results. |
