Design of Reinforced Concrete Ductile Coupled Shear Wall Systems According to ACI 318-19 and ASCE/SEI 7-22
In Design of Reinforced Concrete Ductile Coupled Shear Wall Systems According to ACI 318-19 and ASCE/SEI 7-22, you'll learn ...
- Ductile coupled structural (shear) wall systems in ACI 318-19, ASCE/SEI 7-22 and FEMA P695
- The expected failure modes of ductile coupled structural (shear) wall systems
- Detailed design example (step by step ) of a special reinforced concrete ductile coupled wall based on ASCE/SEI 7-22 and ACI 318-19 codes
Overview
Functional and structural requirements make the use of shear walls desirable in many buildings. Functionally, shear walls are useful in buildings because they serve as partitions between spaces. Structurally, they make buildings laterally stiff, particularly when used interactively with moment frames, thereby helping to keep lateral deflections within tolerable limits.
This course covers the seismic analysis, and design of reinforced concrete (RC) ductile coupled shear wall systems according to ACI 318-19 and ASCE/SEI 7-22 Codes. A ductile coupled wall system of reinforced concrete (RC) is now defined in ACI 318-19 (ACI, 2019), and it is recognized as a distinct seismic force-resisting systems in ASCE/SEI 7-22 Table 12.2-1, Design Coefficients and Factors for Seismic Force-Resisting Systems.
Thus, the discussion in this course focuses not on just coupled walls but ductile coupled walls consisting of ductile shear walls and ductile coupling beams.
