PROBLEM 4
Description of the problem
A static pushover analysis is performed by hand on a cantilever wall, in order to determine the
base shear vs. top story displacement relationship. The structure has a total of 7 stories with a
clear height of 2.5m between floors with an 800mm slab at each level. The cross sections of
the wall are shown in figure 1 bellow.
Figure 1. Cross sections of the slabs. (1) 1st floor section. (2) Floors from 2nd to 7th.
The pushover analysis is performed for two load cases with lower and upper bound axial loads
of 100 kN/floor and 500 kN/floor, respectively. It has also been determined that an
appropriate rotational soil spring has a stiffness of 1.25 x 106 kN-m/rad representing the use
of a pile foundation.
The moment-curvature relationships for all the floors and both load axial bounds are
developed by means of the Xtract program (Imbsen and Associated, 2006). The geometry, the
material properties, the reinforcement distribution and the confinement properties are all
shown in figures 1 and 2.
A typical moment-curvature run using program Xtract is shown in figure 3.

A displacement controlled pushover analysis is performed over the critical section (base
section). In summary the steps followed to plot the pushover curves were:
With the moment at the base, the load distribution is calculated and the bending
moment diagram for the entire wall. In this analysis, a triangular-shaped distributed
load is assumed along the height of the wall.
From the moments at every floor, the corresponding curvatures are read from
their moment-curvature relationships.
These steps are repeated for all the limit strains. From the case sii, plasticity is already
considered to be developed and 2 hinges are assumed to be concentrated at the first floor.
Also when unloading takes place at the base, the other sections are considered to unload with
the yielding stiffness.
The pushover curves are shown in figure 4. Damage states are defined based on the strain
limits. In the upper load ciii could be considered as the actual ultimate stage because this is
when unloading takes place and it is expected that the wall perform unstable behavior. This
means ductility for the upper bound case is much lower than that of the lower bound case.
However, it is clearly seen that for the upper bound case the strength is increased.

In figures 5 and 6 moment-curvatures diagrams are plotted for all 7 floors and both axial load
cases. The curvatures are normalized to the wall length.
For the lower bound case the moment strength goes from 8000 to 5000 kN-m as the height
increases. However the ultimate curvature in the first floor is appreciately decreased due to the
high axial load.
For the upper bound case the moment strength goes from 8500 to 4000 kN-m as the height
increases. However the ultimate curvature in the first floor is significantly decreased due to the
high axial load. This gives and idea that plastic hinges may develop in the second floor as well
due to the low ductility of the first floor.
3. STRAIN LIMITS DEFINITION FOR THE BASE OF THE WALL
The strain limits from table 1 are identified for the base section and for axial load cases. Both
plots are shown in figure 7
In the lower bound curve, siv takes place before civ. This means that the steel fractures before
the concrete can keep on using its remaining strength. Since there is no tell at this stage, the
section cannot resist moment anymore. This is way, the moment-curvature diagram is taken
until siv only.
In the upper bound curve, loss of strength is developed. In this case ciii must be taken as the
ultimate practical stage. This is due to the fact that when the section loses strength it usually
has an unstable behavior and the ductility cannot be well developed. Just for theoretical
analysis, all the limits are shown in figure 7.

4. STEP-BY-STEP RESULTS
In the following figures, for each strain limit state it is shown the first mode distribution
(triangular-shaped), the bending moment diagram, the associated curvature distribution (based
on moment-curvature for each floor) for both load cases, and the displacement profile. The
displacements are derived by means of Integration.
