TY - JOUR TI - Investigation of nonlinear behavior of high ductility reinforced concrete shear walls AB - In this study, the nonlinear behavior of ductile reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls having different parameters was analytically investigated. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of axial load, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and transverse reinforcement ratios on the moment-curvature and lateral force-lateral peak displacement relationships of RC shear walls. RC shear walls that have various parameters were designed by taking into account the regulation of the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBEC, 2018). By considering the nonlinear behavior of the materials, behaviors of the RC shear walls were examined within the framework of the moment-curvature relation. The moment-curvature relations of RC shear walls with different parameters were obtained with the Mander model which takes into consideration the lateral confined concrete strength for different parameters. The effects of the analyzed parameters on the nonlinear behavior of the RC shear walls were evaluated in terms of curvature ductility, moment capacity, peak displacement, the angular displacement and displacement ductility values. It was seen that changes in the transverse reinforcement, longitudinal reinforcement, and axial load levels had important influence on the moment-curvature and lateral force-lateral peak displacement behavior of the RC shear walls.
