ANALYSIS MODEL FOR HYBRID GFRP/STEEL-REINFORCED SHEAR WALLS

玻璃纤维增强聚合物(GFRP)筋是钢筋混凝土中一种可行的钢筋替代品 (Rc)环境条件可能不利于钢筋的地区的结构。玻璃钢的使用 然而，在其他领域，由于玻璃钢消散能量和提供服务的能力降低，因此受到限制。 结构系统的延展性。BP复合材料有限公司是一家玻璃钢加固的开发商和制造商 有兴趣扩大其产品在中低地震活动区或 需要大量耗能(冲击或振动)的结构，其中目前使用玻璃钢 加固不被认为是一个可行的选择。这项研究将表明，创新的、混合玻璃钢/钢 加筋剪力墙具有传统型钢加固墙令人满意的可取特性，例如 可接受的能量耗散和延性，同时显示出使用 玻璃钢材料。BP复合材料将从这项研究中产生的分析证据中受益，该证据表明 玻璃钢/钢混合墙体的优势，使该公司能够采用这种创新的建筑形式 在其项目/产品组合中。

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars constitute a feasible alternative to steel in reinforced concrete (RC) structures in areas where environmental conditions may be adverse to steel reinforcement. Use of GFRP in other areas, however, has been limited due to the reduced capacity of GFRP to dissipate energy and provide ductility to structural systems. BP Composites, LTD. is a developer and manufacturer of GFRP reinforcing bars interested in expanding the applications of their product in areas with low-to-moderate seismicity or in structures that require significant energy dissipation (impact or vibration), in which currently GFRP reinforcement is not considered a feasible option. This study will show that innovative, hybrid GFRP/steel reinforced shear walls exhibit satisfactory desirable traits of conventional steel-reinforced walls such as acceptable energy dissipation and ductility, while at the same time exhibiting desirable advantages of using GFRP material. BP Composites will benefit from the analytical evidence generated in this study showing the advantages of hybrid GFRP/steel walls by allowing the company to include this type of innovative construction in its project/product portfolio.
