Polat, Erkan; Polat, Elifcan Göçmen
Traditional theoretical models, while conservative, overlook the complex, nonlinear interactions between material and geometric parameters that influence wall flexural strength. Additionally, the extent to which these models maintain their conservative assumptions across varying parameters remains uncertain. This study aims to develop advanced predictive models for the flexural strength of planar composite plate shear walls—concrete filled (C-PSW/CF) by employing Linear Regression (LR) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Central Composite Design (CCD) was utilized to design numerical experiments to analyze the effects of varying parameters, including steel plate yield strength, concrete compressive strength, wall depth, depth-to-thickness ratio, and reinforcement ratio. A validated complex finite element modeling (FEM) procedure was used to analyze numerical experiments involving varying parameters of the selected variables. Both LR and RSM were applied to the generated dataset to formulate predictive equations for the maximum moment capacity of walls. Interaction plots were developed to reveal the nonlinear relationships between the variables and identify the most effective parameters influencing the wall strength. Comparisons between theoretical predictions, RSM, and LR models revealed that RSM provided the most accurate predictions, closely aligning with FEM results and effectively capturing the nonlinear interactions between wall parameters. The findings of this paper contribute to the development of more practical, accurate and optimized design methods for C-PSW/CF, ultimately improving both structural safety and efficiency.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2022Scopus SJRQ2Theoretical Models for Tie Bar Maximum Axial Force Demand in Composite Plate Shear Walls–Concrete Filled
Polat, Erkan
This paper presents theoretical models developed for the prediction of the maximum axial force demands of tie bars of planar composite plate shear walls–concrete filled (C-PSW/CF). In the development of the theory, a previously benchmarked finite element (FE) wall model was used with some modifications. The results from the FE models were used to demonstrate the formation of the tie bar axial force demands, passive lateral confining pressure, concrete confinement, effectively confined concrete core and to develop theoretical models for the prediction of tie bar maximum force demands. The proposed method accounts for various aspects of wall geometry such as horizontal and vertical tie bar spacings, steel plate thickness, and wall thickness. The predictions of the proposed theoretical models were compared with the predictions of FE analyses by performing a parametric study involving C-PSW/CF having different tie bar spacings, plate thickness, wall thickness, and wall depths. Past experimental research available in the literature were used to evaluate the significance of the theoretical model in predicting tie bar maximum axial force demands. Tie bar axial force demand due to the confinement effect is not currently considered in the design of tie bars and there is no theoretical approach in the literature that considers the effect of confinement on the tie bar axial force demand. The theoretical models presented in this study allow the determination of the maximum axial force demands due to the confinement effect on planar C-PSW/CF tie bars without the need for complex and costly numerical analysis.

Tie bars axial force demands due to concrete dilation and prying action were investigated through numerical studies. In the first part of this study, the Karagozian and Case Concrete model, which proved to provide reasonable in-plane flexural cyclic inelastic wall response while accounting for concrete dilation effect, was used to investigate the variation of confinement inside the infill concrete, the distribution of passive confining pressures at the steel–concrete interface, and the resulting tie bar axial force demands. Finite element analyses involving C-PSW/CF having different tie spacings, wall depths, and wall thicknesses were performed. In the second part of this study, the influence of plate local buckling on tie bar axial force demand was investigated and explained by prying action. A separate finite element study was performed to investigate the significance of prying action and equations were developed from free-body diagrams. The results showed the significance of the passive confining pressures due to concrete dilation, and prying action due to local plate buckling, on imparting axial forces in tie bars. Neither of these behavior are currently considered as design parameters for tie bars. The numerical analyses and results presented here are intended to provide useful insights and direction for the design and instrumentation of future C-PSW/CF experiments by the broader research community.
