Ultimate Strength of the RC walls under interactive performance of in-plane and out-of-plane loadings

فاقد چكيده فارسي

Reinforced concrete walls are such structural components which can be exposed to in-plane and out-ofplane loads in especial loading conditions. Design of these walls usually is done without considering the reducing effect of each type load on each other. In present paper, for reasonable dimensions of a RC wall at first, the nonlinear load bearing behavior was examined. For this purpose, finite element modeling was employed and in order to verify the procedure, a popular experimental test was modeled. In the following, using the material properties of the verified model, the subject of paper was followed. In this order, the interactive influence of loads was investigated with evaluation of the load bearing capacity for each type load when the other one was constant. The results indicate major influence of studied loads on each other that indicate importance of the study for interactive influences of loads for structures in such conditions
