A Design Guideline for Reinforced Concrete Coupled Shear Walls

Moazzami在大多数建筑规范中，关于剪力墙和连梁的比例有非常有限的指导方针。 因此，已经注意到联接的壁组件对动态载荷的响应达不到可接受的延性行为。 本项目讨论了一些目前的做法，在比例和设计的耦合墙组件，突出了这些方法的一些缺点，并提出了一种新的方法，旨在更全面的设计耦合墙组件。 特别是耦合墙组件的滞回响应将研究建议的数学模型的基础上。 本研究的主要关注点是评估循环能量耗散的大小，并确定必须达到的结构构件的强度，刚度和延性能力之间的平衡，以优化系统中的能量耗散。 这项研究的结果是一套设计准则，用于配比结构构件，以实现最佳的能量耗散和稳定的滞回响应。*

9625386 Moazzami In most building codes, there are very limited guidelines regarding the proportioning of the shear walls and coupling beams. Consequently, the response of the coupled wall assemblies to dynamic loads has been noted to fall short of acceptable ductile behavior. This project discusses some of the current practices in proportioning and design of coupled wall assemblies, highlights some of the shortcomings of these methods, and proposes a new approach that aims at a more comprehensive design of coupled wall assemblies. In particular the hysteretic response of the coupled wall assemblies will be studied based on a proposed mathematical model. The primary concern of this study is to assess the magnitude of cyclic energy dissipation, and determine the balance that must be achieved between strength, stiffness, and ductility capacity of structural members in order to optimize energy dissipation in the system. The outcome of this investigation is a set of design guidelines for proportioning structural members for optimum energy dissipation and stable hysteretic response.***
