An equivalent plane truss model for new fabricated concrete shear wall
An equivalent planar truss model nonlinear analysis method was proposed for a new fabricated shear wall with certain seismic response adaptive capability.This method effectively solved the problems of low efficiency of traditional modeling methods and excessive order of extracted structural stiffness and mass matrices,which could affect the subsequent call of the structural vibration control system.Loading tests were carried out on two new fabricated shear walls connected by different horizontal connecting devices.The rectangular plane microelement was simplified into an equivalent plane truss element based on the equivalent stiffness principle,and the concrete stress-strain relationship was modified according to the principle of equivalent strength.Combining with the characteristics of the equivalent plane truss model of the fabricated shear wall,a failure criterion and a crack treatment method suitable for the model were proposed.Error analysis was carried out on the simulation results and test results of the equivalent plane truss model of the new fabricated shear wall.The results showed that the established equivalent plane truss model could quickly extract the structural stiffness and mass matrices.The average relative error between the results obtained from unidirectional overturning and the characteristic load value of the test was 4.0%,while the average relative errors between the results obtained by ANSYS and ABAQUS traditional finite element simulations and the characteristic load were 2.3%and 2.7%,respectively.However,the calculation time was reduced by 60%and 64%,respectively.The proposed model of the fabricated shear wall could be applied to subsequent structural vibration control with high accuracy.
