Abstract Details

2020, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Civil Engineering.
Changes have been made in the coupling beam wall connection design for Composite Ordinary Shear Wall in AISC seismic provision 341. According to the latest seismic provision AISC 341-16, the coupling beam wall connection is to be designed and detailed to develop the linear elastic shear demand of the coupling beam. Before this revision, the coupling beam wall connection was designed and detailed to develop the expected strength of the beam. The results from an analytical study have demonstrated that embedment length of coupling beams for stories with low elastic demand could have very short embedment lengths. Although such short embedment lengths satisfy the code, they could have detrimental effects. It is important to note that most of the experimental investigations forming the basis of H4 and H5 section of AISC 341-16 were focused on high seismic demands. Due to lack of information regarding the performance of coupled core wall systems subjected to wind loads and low seismic loads, an experimental study is necessary to develop much needed data for such loads. The test results will fill a major gap in the existing knowledge base and can be used to modify the current seismic provisions of AISC seismic provisions for Composite Ordinary Shear Wall. The pending experimental and analytical studies will be formulated based on this M.S. thesis.
