Reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are commonly used to provide buildings with lateral and torsional resistance against the actions of wind and earthquakes. In low-to-moderate seismic regions, it is not unusual to find a single peripheral core wall that alone should resist these actions, where the torsional (rotational) twist cannot be neglected. It has previously been difficult to have confidence in simulating the axial-flexure-torsion behavior of these RC core walls, primarily due to: (i) some types of modelling approaches being unable to appropriately account for the shear-flexural action, as well as torsional response; and (ii) the scarcity of experimental data, particularly for walls under torsional loads, which would be required to validate such models. In this research, beam-truss models (BTMs), which correspond to an interesting compromise between detailed modelling and practical applications, were used to simulate the in-plane and diagonal flexural response of RC U-shaped walls. Furthermore, the global torque-rotation results from a recent experimental wall test provided the evidence to further validate this powerful modelling technique. A case study building, comprising an RC U-shaped core wall structure with varying eccentricity values, was evaluated for an earthquake event with a 2475-year return period in the city of Melbourne, Australia, using the capacity spectrum method. Nonlinear static pushover analyses showed that, depending on the magnitude of torsion, the in-plane flexural strength and displacement capacity can be significantly reduced. The results from this research emphasize the importance of including torsional actions in the design and assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
