An analysis method for predicting the response of low-rise shear walls under both monotonic and cyclic loading is presented in this paper. The proposed analysis method is based on the softened truss model theory but utilizes newly proposed cyclic constitutive relationships for concrete and steel bars obtained from cyclic shear testing. The successfulness of the analysis method, when combined with new materials constitutive relationships, is checked against the test results of 33 low-rise shear walls reported in the technical literature. The theoretical predictions are compared with the reported test results and are found to be applicable throughout the loading history. The effects of loading types (monotonic versus cyclic) as well as the effects of the boundary elements on the predicted results are also addressed.

Analytical prediction of thermal displacement capacity of integral bridges built on sand Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2005-02-01) In this research, analytical equations are developed to calculate the lateral displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges built on sand based on the low-cycle fatigue performance of the piles under cyclic thermal variations and the ultimate strength of the abutment under positive thermal variations. To formulate the displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges based on the low cycle fatigue performance of steel H-piles under cyclic thermal variations, first, H-...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED AND REINFORCED-CONCRETE STRUCTURES ELMEZAINI, N; CITIPITIOGLU, E (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1991-10-01) A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements with movable nodes are developed utilizing a correction technique for mapping distortion. Reinforcing bars and/or prestressing tendons are modeled independently of the concrete mesh. Perfect or no bond as well as any bond-slip model can easily be represented. The procedure is succes...
Live Load Distribution Formulas for Single-Span Prestressed Concrete Integral Abutment Bridge Girders Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-11-01) In this study, live load distribution formulas for the girders of single-span integral abutment bridges (IABs) are developed. For this purpose, two and three dimensional finite-element models (FEMs) of several IABs are built and analyzed. In the analyses, the effects of various superstructure properties such as span length, number of design lanes, prestressed concrete girder size, and spacing as well as slab thickness are considered. The results from the analyses of two and three dimensional FEMs are then u...
Investigation of the Applicability of AASHTO LRFD Live Load Distribution equations for Integral Bridge Substructures Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2009-08-01) In this study, applicability of the AASHTO LRFD girder live load distribution equations (LLDEs) for integral bridge (IB) abutments and piles is investigated. For this Purpose, numerous 3-D and corresponding 2-D structural models of typical IBs are built and analyzed under AASHTO LRFD live load. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure properties such as span length, slab thickness, girder spacing and stiffness are considered. The results from the 2-D and 3-D analyses are then used to calculate ...
