Abstract:
In tall core-wall buildings with concrete unbonded post-tensioned
flat-plate gravity framing, modeling the behavior of the slab-wall-column framing under earthquake loading can be crucial to determining structural response quantities for the design of the flat-plate framing. The outrigger action of the gravity system also affects the overall dynamic properties of the building and may affect wall
moment and shear demands. The outrigger effect can be modeled
using a slab-beam model, which uses linear-elastic frame elements
with concentrated nonlinear hinges at each end. In this study, the
slab-beam model is calibrated using results from a slab-wall-column
laboratory test. Recommendations suitable for design office
practice are presented.
