Structural wall systems in Latin America


Wall vs. Column


Before 1910 almost everything was masonry walls The arrival of reinforced concrete brought the use of moment resisting frames In the 1960s walls reappear with tunnel formwork systems such as the French Outinord In the 1970s Structural Masonry (USA inspired vertical perforation block) make an appearance. In the 1980s Box-Type formwork types appear (Contech y Western) Story drift restrictions in the seismic codes makes its use more widespread

Some Codes differentiate them based on geometry. For example, based on section side dimensions, slenderness ratio, etc. In some instances by the presence on an inflection point in the moment diagram within the story floor height. Then it classifies as column when present and wall when not. In ACI 318 it is done using the vertical reinforcement steel ratio. If it is greater than 1% transverse ties are required as in columns.

Ductility of walls that failed in shear was lower that for those failing in flexure, flexure although both showed some amount of ductility. Capacity to reach a large story drift is insensitive to failure mode

All walls that failed in shear resisted a shear stress g greater than
1 f 6 c

(MPa) = 0.53 fc (kgf/cm2)

Story drift from 1.7% to 3.9% for flexural failures Story drift from 1.1% to 3.6% for shear failures

All walls that failed in flexure resisted horizontal forces that lead to shear stresses greater than
1 f 6 c

In all cases walls reached a 1% story drift without showing distress

Structural analysis of wall systems


Boundary elements improve the energy dissipation capacity in the nonlinear range of walls failing in flexure. Boundary elements do not improve behavior for walls failing in shear. The deformation capacity is better when the horizontal steel ratio is lower. The strength for horizontal loads decreases as more cycles in the nonlinear range are performed.

Boundary elements must be placed at edges and around openings when inelastic response is expected. t d ACI 318 318-08 08 gives i t two alternatives lt ti to t define if boundary elements are needed: 1) Section 21.9.6.2 presents a displacement-based procedure. Boundary elements are needed or not depending on the compressive strain at the edge of wall caused by the seismic lateral d fl ti deflection, or 2) Section 21.9.6.3 requires boundary elements when the compressive stress at the edge of wall caused by the seismic forces exceeds a threshold value.

Displacement-based boundary element procedure in ACI 318 (21.9.6.2)


Displacement-based boundary element procedure in ACI 318 (21.9.6.2)


The

This procedure is based on the compressive strain demand at edges of wall when the wall is deformed under the maximum expected lateral displacement caused by the design earthquake ground motion. Section 21.9.6.2 is based on the assumption that inelastic response of the wall is dominated by flexural action at a critical, yielding section. The wall should be proportioned so that the critical section occurs at the base of the wall and is applicable only to walls continuous from base to top of the structure.

wall should have a single critical section under flexure and axial load at the base of the wall. The zones of the wall in compression must be provided with specially reinforced boundary elements when the depth of the neutral axis at nominal strength, c, is greater than:

Then the curvature at the wall base when the displacement demand occurs is:

Equation (21-8) deduction


The concrete strain at the extreme fiber in compression at ultimate is:

Equation (21-8) deduction


If a 600 value parameter is used instead of 666 in last equation and it is solved for cu a value of cu = 0.0033 is obtained, which in turn leads to the following equation:

We can then obtain the strain at ultimate for the displacement demand: and If the maximum strain at the extreme compression fiber exceeds

cu = 0.0033 then the value of c obtained from last equation


would be exceeded. exceeded Thus the form ACI 318 presents it: If c is greater than the value obtained boundary elements must be placed along the length where it is exceeded and a little more.

The value of

c for a ultimate strain of cu = 0.003 is:

Need for boundary elements


If equation (21-8) indicates that the value of c is exceeded, d d this thi is i a symptom t that th t strains t i greater than cu = 0.0033 must be expected and the need to confine the edge of the wall is warranted in order to prevent spalling of the concrete there. In that case ACI 318 prescribes the same type and amount of confining transverse reinforcement that for columns.

Stress-based boundary element procedure in ACI 318 (21.9.6.3)


Stress-based boundary element procedure in ACI 318 (21.9.6.3)


Boundary elements must be provided at edges and around openings p g of walls when the maximum stress at the extreme fiber in compression caused by factored loads that include seismic effects exceeds 0.2 fc unless that whole wall is confined as a column.

Los elementos de borde deben existir desde la seccin crtica hacia arriba por una distancia no menor que la mayor de w o Mu/(4Vu). Este procedimiento intrnsecamente est solicitando elementos de borde cuando las deformaciones unitarias de compresin en la fibra de mxima compresin del muro exceden 0.003 La evaluacin se realiza para el muro actuando bajo los desplazamientos p inelsticos del sismo de diseo. El valor de u corresponde al desplazamiento inelstico de la parte superior del muro

fcu =

Pu M u w + > 0.2 fc Ag Iw 2

The boundary elements can be discontinued when the compression stress is less than 0.15 fc

Stress-based boundary element procedure in ACI 318 p (21.9.6.3)


Ptu = Pu Mu 0 Ag ( w 300 mm )

Old (pre-1999) procedure


Pu Mu
Pcu = Pu Mu + 2 ( w 300 mm )

Boundary elements resisting all flexural effect that include seismic forces

w heb Pu Mu
Pu Mu + 2 ( w heb )

This

procedure had been part of ACI 318 since the 1971 version version. In the 1999 version of 318 a modification was introduced in which the need to resist all flexural forces from seismic effects with just the boundary elements was suppressed.

P Mu Ptu = u 0 A g ( w heb )
Ptn = A st f y

Pcu =

P0n = [0.85 fc (A g Ast ) + A st f y ] Pn(max) 0.80 P0n
