Control of cracking in R.C. Structures: Numerical simulation of a squat shear wall
conference paper
In this paper the behavior of a squat shear wall subjected to monotonic shear loading is investigated. The study fits into the experimental program driven by CEOS.fr on modeling of the behavior of the tested mocks-ups (monotonic and cycling loading-under prevented or free shrinkage). The shear wall has been analyzed with nonlinear finite element analyses carried out with the finite element code DIANA and numerical results have been compared with the experimental results presented during the Concrack2 Benchmark Workshop that has been held in Paris in 2011. The design shear resistance of the shear wall has been also evaluated with analytical and numerical procedures according to the new Model Code 2010 prescriptions. The analytical calculations, which have been carried out with a strut and tie model, have been compared with numerical results from nonlinear finite element analyses.
