Precast technology is common worldwide, but in India, the level of acceptance is less, although it has many advantages over traditional cast-in-place construction. In precast technology, the components are cast in a controlled environment under strict quality control, but the connections between these elements are prepared on-site. These connections are considered more vulnerable to damage. In the present study, different types of modeling of the wall slab wall (WSW) precast connection are investigated for a four-story WSW building having a precast wall and slab. For the WSW system, two types of analysis are performed: (i) slabs and walls modeled by shell elements, and (ii) slab and walls modeled by beam elements converting slab to a grid. Three types of modeling of WSW with regards to inelastic behavior are envisaged, namely, (i) an inelastic (nonlinear) link at the connection and an elastoplastic behavior at a node 0.1L (L is the directional distance of the slab) distance from the connection link; (ii) only inelastic link at the connection; and (iii) inelastic link at the connection and a default hinge (available in SAP2000) at a node on 0.1L distance from the connection. The nonlinear time history analysis of the WSW system under a suit of earthquakes is carried out to obtain the response quantities of interest. They include base shear, MIDR, maximum story displacement, and a number of plastic hinges. Three levels of PGA are considered for the analysis. The responses obtained from different types of inelastic modeling are compared for different PGA levels.

摘要

Precast technology is common worldwide, but in India, the level of acceptance is less, although it has many advantages over traditional cast-in-place construction. In precast technology, the components are cast in a controlled environment under strict quality control, but the connections between these elements are prepared on-site. These connections are considered more vulnerable to damage. In the present study, different types of modeling of the wall slab wall (WSW) precast connection are investigated for a four-story WSW building having a precast wall and slab. For the WSW system, two types of analysis are performed: (i) slabs and walls modeled by shell elements, and (ii) slab and walls modeled by beam elements converting slab to a grid. Three types of modeling of WSW with regards to inelastic behavior are envisaged, namely, (i) an inelastic (nonlinear) link at the connection and an elastoplastic behavior at a node 0.1L (L is the directional distance of the slab) distance from the connection link; (ii) only inelastic link at the connection; and (iii) inelastic link at the connection and a default hinge (available in SAP2000) at a node on 0.1L distance from the connection. The nonlinear time history analysis of the WSW system under a suit of earthquakes is carried out to obtain the response quantities of interest. They include base shear, MIDR, maximum story displacement, and a number of plastic hinges. Three levels of PGA are considered for the analysis. The responses obtained from different types of inelastic modeling are compared for different PGA levels.
