Abstract
Reinforced concrete walls (shear walls) are important structural elements that are placed in multistory buildings from seismic zones, because they have a high resistance to lateral earthquake loads. Structural reinforced concrete walls represent a system that provides lateral resistance, high stiffness and strength to a building. Because the energy dissipation is made only by the base of the structural walls, they do not exhibit ductile and redundant behavior. In case of design of a ductile structural wall, yielding of flexural reinforcement in plastic hinge region which is normally occurred at the base of the wall, control the strength, inelastic deformation and energy dissipation. The structural reinforced concrete slit wall with shear connectors, removes some of the problems encountered with ordinary structural walls. Yielding of shear connectors in this wall may cause increase in energy dissipation, forming a structural damper that is based on structural passive control. The overall ductility of the structure increases, considering the energy dissipation solution, resulting a supplementary safety for the building. Finite Element Method was used for the analysis of the proposed structural wall; and for simulation ANSYS 14.5 software is used.
