Basic Information
Building Overview
Reinforced concrete (RC) frames for buildings are popular to be combined with RC shear wall, and the RC shear wall can cover along the height of the frame in various portions. In this example, a set of experimental tests of RC frame – shear wall with four different coverages were modelled to show the accuracy of STERA_3D. The specimens were tested by Moehle and Sozen in 1980 [1] as a part of research grant report by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA for National Science Foundation. Each specimen consists of two nine-story 2D frame with one shear wall in between.
