Abstract

This paper investigates the combined effect of flexural and shear actions on the failure modes of the high strength reinforced concrete (HRC) members using the proposed algorithm for plastic hinge formation. The accuracy of the present procedure for the HRC columns was verified by comparing the results obtained with those of the cyclic loading tests performed in Japan. To evaluate the seismic performance of the HRC high-rise buildings, a seismic performance checklist for the HRC buildings was recommended. Based on the proposed algorithm for formation of plastic hinges, the seismic performance of HRC buildings based on the static pushover analysis is evaluated. From the results of the pushover analysis, a simplified lumped-mass stick model was developed, which is adopted to evaluate the seismic performance using the nonlinear time history analysis. For the purpose of illustration, the seismic performance of a high-rise building constructed with HRC was investigated by both the nonlinear pushover and nonlinear dynamic analyses using the proposed procedure and concepts. The results of this paper serve as a useful reference for the seismic design and evaluation of HRC high-rise structures.
