Abstract

Reinforced concrete shear wall structures are an important part of the construction due to their ability to withstand in large earthquakes force and deformation demands. In some of these buildings, shear walls are implemented in successive bays to create more lateral resistance, to reduce drift or to satisfy architectural requirements, and adhered walls are appeared. In Open Sees, the MVLEM and SFI_MVLEM methods do not have the ability to model the common boundary element between two shear walls adhering to each other. So, modeling of these walls in Open Sees software is difficult. In this paper, we propose a method for modelling these walls, Multiple Vertical Columns (fiber) method, and modeling results are compared with experimental results and the results of other models. The ability of this method in the modeling of the adhered shear wall is measured via the actual building modelling. The results of static posh-over analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis show that the proposed model has a good performance for the modeling of adhered walls. The main advantages of using Multiple Vertical Columns (fiber) method are the use of multiple fiber columns to model the geometry continuity of the wall in a horizontal direction (similar to the MVLEM) and the possibility of folding the vertical elements along their longitudinal axis and using horizontal joints in the mid-points to model The geometric continuity of the wall is vertical direction.
