A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the response of dual structural systems that consisting of steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of elastic base shear distribution between the wall and the frame on the global system response. A total of 10 walls and 30 wall frame systems, ranging from 3 to 15 stories, were selected for numerical assessment. These systems represent cases in which the elastic base shear resisted by the frame has a share of 10, 25, or 50% of the total base shear resisted by the dual system. The numerical study consisted of 1600 time history analyses employing three-dimensional finite elements. All 40 structures were separately analyzed for elastic and inelastic response by subjecting them to the selected suite of earthquake records. Interstory drifts, top story drift, base shears resisted by the wall, and the frame were collected during each analysis. Based on the analysis results, important response quantities, such as the strength reduction, the overstrength, and the displacement amplification factors, are evaluated herein. Results are presented in terms of displacement measures, such as the interstory drift ratio and the top story drift ratio. Analysis results revealed that the increase in the strength reduction factor with the amount of load share is insignificant. Furthermore, there is an inverse relationship between the ductility reduction and the overtsrength. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A numerical study on response modification, overstrength, and displacement amplification factors for steel plate shear wall systems Kurban, Can Ozan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2009-04-10) Design recommendations for steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems have recently been introduced into seismic provisions for steel buildings. Response modification (R), overstrength (Omega(o)), and displacement amplification (C-d) factors for SPSW systems presented in design codes were based on professional experience and judgment. A numerical study has been undertaken to evaluate these factors for SPSW systems. Forty-four unstiffened SPSW possessing different geometrical characteristics were designed based o...
Generalized force vectors for multi-mode pushover analysis of torsionally coupled systems Kaatsız, Kaan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2014-10-25) A generalized multi-mode pushover analysis procedure was developed for estimating the maximum inelastic seismic response of symmetrical plan structures under earthquake ground excitations. Pushover analyses are conducted with story-specific generalized force vectors in this procedure, with contributions from all effective modes. Generalized pushover analysis procedure is extended to three-dimensional torsionally coupled systems in the presented study. Generalized force distributions are expressed as the com...
An improvement to linear-elastic procedures for seismic performance assessment Gunay, Mehmet Selim; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2010-07-10) An improved linear-elastic analysis procedure is developed in this paper as a simple approximate method for displacement-based seismic assessment of the existing buildings. The procedure is mainly based on reducing the stiffness of structural members that are expected to respond in the inelastic range in a single global iteration step. Modal spectral displacement demands are determined from the equal displacement rule. Response predictions obtained from the proposed procedure are evaluated comparatively by ...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25) This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Seismic response assessment of a stiff structure Kazaz, I; Yakut, Ahmet; Gulkan, P (Wiley, 2006-05-01) Seismic response of a lightly reinforced stiff shear-wall structure subjected to ground motions grouped as near- or far-field according to their distance to causative faults is investigated. A model structure that had earlier been studied both experimentally and analytically in the context of a co-ordinated research project is re-examined. The structure is a five-storey lightly reinforced shear-wall model subjected analytically to 55 ground motion records from firm soil sites. Several response parameters ar...
