Abstract

In this study, comprehensive analytical and parametric studies were conducted on seismic performance of concrete structures equipped with self-centered unbonded post-tensioned hybrid wall system in comparison with traditional structural wall system. For this purpose, analytical models were developed and to further study the seismic performance of self centering hybrid wall, parametric analysis was performed considering four parameters: wall aspect ratio, initial stress of post-tensioned (PT) tendons, the total area of PT tendons, the total area of mild bars. The performance of buildings was evaluated under non-linear quasi cyclic and time history method considering two seismic hazard levels, the design-based earthquake (DBE) level and the risk-targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCE) level. Hysteresis response, damage severity and pattern index estimation, energy dissipation ability and damping ratio, relative self-centering efficiency (RSE), residual drift, peak roof drift and inter-story drift ratio, floors acceleration, shear force ratio, column curvature ductility, prestressing and gap opening effect of all buildings were studied. The results of the parametric analysis showed by increasing the prestressing ratio, wall damage severity, residual drift and energy dissipation capacity were decreased and structural seismic demand and RSE increased, while increasing mild bars was the most efficient method for improving the energy dissipation ability.
