摘要: |
A number of construction techniques have been proposed to improve the seismic performance of infilled RC frames by increasing the strength and stiffness of the infill and/or the frame. The increase of the seismic capacity of infilled frames with these techniques can improve substantially their seismic performance as long as the demand does not exceed the capacity, but it can eventually lead to brittle failures once the capacity is exceeded. This study assesses numerically a new construction technique that introduces flexibility to the system to ensure its ductile behavior and minimal damage by splitting the infill in subportions and allowing the sliding along the horizontal joints connecting these subportions. A numerical model, validated with data from tests on the components of the proposed structural system and able to capture the interaction between them, has been developed to provide insight into the load-transfer mechanism that develops, and to optimize the proposed detailing. A parametric study investigates the sensitivity of the system to the design parameters, infilFs geometry, and material properties, so that design recommendations can be made.
