In
Taiwan, the proportion of using brick walls as four-sided
confined bulkheads or partition walls in buildings is very high
and it is also very common for the framing method by bricks or
reinforced bricks. For the domestic simulation of brick wall
mechanics, all of them are analyzed through equivalent
strut. The concept for such simulation is that the brick wall
has the characteristics of bearing pressures but no tension and
the interface friction between red bricks and mortars. In
addition, the model for brick wall destruction is cracks from
two opposite corners. With the test, we anticipate the ultimate
strength and the elastic modulus of brick walls, which are our
simulation bases. A series of such researches adopt the
strength of brick walls to resist the lateral load but neglect
somewhat stiffness of confined concrete columns provided by
brick wall.
In conclusion, with considerations of the restraining behavior
and the stiffness effect brought by brick walls to the confined
concrete column, this article suggests that the whole panel
shall be included in the structural analysis based on the
equivalent panel method. Because there are tensions and
compressive strengths internally occurred in the equivalent
panel as receiving a lateral push and the equivalent strut
simulation has considered the pressure-resisting but
no-tension-bearing characteristics of brick wall elements, we
might undervalue the effect of increasing the short-column shear
borne by the structure if the simulation of equivalent panel had
not been modified in terms of the shear of confined concrete
columns. In the first stage, this article will conclude the
proportional relationships between the panel and the shear of
dual struts, single strut as well as dual-strut columns
respectively to find out the relationship between the panel and
the strut and to set up a coefficient of correction, α, for
future application to the modification of column shears after an
analysis of equivalent panels.
In the second stage, we use the frame in our case studies as our
analysis structure. In terms of equivalent panel and equivalent
strut, we make an analysis of three-sided confined short column
shear effect. Because the three-sided confined set is
dissimilar to the four-sided confined set in the opposite
corners, the strut cannot effectively resist the lateral load
and its restraining force is even different from that of brick
walls. This article applies the method to the modification of
the column shear made in the first stage to find out if the
mechanical behavior of equivalent panel could reflect the
principle for the short-column shear effect in comparison with
the equivalent strut. However, in addition to the restraining
force of partial height walls, another reason for causing the
short-column shear effect is the change in stiffness. Finally,
therefore, we will study if the stiffness effect could reach the
result of making the column shear stronger.
The research result shows that, in terms of column shear, the
nonoccurrence proportion of short-column shear effect for the
partial height wall simulation by equivalent panel is less than
that for the partial height wall simulation by equivalent
strut. Besides, for the partial height wall simulation by
equivalent panel, the coupled column still has restraining
force. But the biggest problem is that such restraining force is
not sufficient in comparison with that of the equivalent strut
simulation for the most right-side column in the continuous
force side of partial height walls. In conclusion, it is truly
feasible to use the equivalent panel to simulate the
short-column shear effect of partial height brick walls. |
