- Abstract
- An analytical method for evaluating the inelastic dynamic structural response of lightly reinforced concrete (RC) frames strengthened by infilled shear walls was developed. The models were validated by analyzing a one-story, one-bay infilled frame, tested by Aoyama et al., and a three-story, one-bay infilled frame tested by Higashi et al. The results of the analyses showed that (1) hysteresis models developed using one-story, one-bay frames can be incorporated into IDARC for the analysis of frames with more than one-story height, and (2) reasonable predictions of structural behavior, both in terms of ultimate load capacity and in absorbed energy on a per cycle basis, can be determined using the hysteresis models.
