Energy-saving block and invisible multiribbed frame composite wall (EBIMFCW) is an important shear wall, which is composed of energy-saving blocks, steel bars and concrete. This paper conducted seismic performance tests on six 1/2-scale EBIMFCW specimens, analyzed their failure process under horizontal reciprocating load, and studied the effect of axial compression ratio on the wall's hysteresis curve and skeleton curve, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, bearing capacity degradation. A formula for calculating the peak bearing capacity of such walls was proposed. Results showed that the EBIMFCW had experienced a long time deformation from cracking to failure and exhibited signs of failure. The three seismic fortification lines of the energy-saving block, internal multiribbed frame, and outer multiribbed frame sequentially played important roles. With the increase in axial compression ratio, the peak bearing capacity and ductility of the wall increased, whereas the initial stiffness decreased. The change in axial compression ratio had a small effect on the energy dissipation capacity of the wall. In the early stage of loading, the influence of axial compression ratio on wall stiffness and strength degradation was unremarkable. In the later stage of loading, the stiffness and strength degradation of walls with high axial compression ratio were low. The displacement ductility coefficients of the wall under vertical pressure were more than 3.0 indicating that this wall type has good deformation ability. The limit values of elastic displacement angle under weak earthquake and elastic-plastic displacement angle under strong earthquake of the EBIMFCW were1/800 and 1/80, respectively.

The impacts of waste tire rubber (WTR) on the bending conduct of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are investigated in visualization of experimental tests and 3D finite element model (FEM) using both ANSYS and SAP2000. Several WTR rates are used in total 4 various full scale RCBs to observe the impact of WTR rate on the rupture and bending conduct of RCBs. For this purpose, the volumetric ratios (Vf) of WTR were chosen to change to 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% in the whole concrete. In relation to experimental test consequences, bending and rupture behaviors of the RCBs are observed. The best performance among the beams was observed in the beams with 2.5% WTR. Furthermore, as stated by test consequences, it is noticed that while WTR rate in the RCBs is improved, max. bending in the RCBs rises. For test consequences, it is clearly recognized as WTR rate in the RCB mixture is improved from 0% to 2.5%, deformation value in the RCB remarkably rises from 3.89 cm to 7.69 cm. This consequence is markedly recognized that WTR rates have a favorable result on deformation values in the RCBs. Furthermore, experimental tests are compared to 3D FEM consequences via using ANSYS software. In the ANSYS, special element types are formed and nonlinear multilinear misses plasticity material model and bilinear misses plasticity material model are chosen for concrete and compression and tension elements. As a consequence, it is noticed that each WTR rates in the RCBs mixture have dissimilar bending and rupture impacts on the RCBs. Then, to observe the impacts of WTR rate on the constructions under near-fault ground motions, a reinforced-concrete building was modelled via using SAP2000 software using 3-D model of the construction to complete nonlinear static analysis. Beam, column, steel haunch elements are modeled as nonlinear frame elements. Consequently, the seismic impacts of WTR rate on the lateral motions of each floor are obviously investigated particularly. Considering reduction in weight of structure and capacity of the members with using waste tire rubber, 2.5% of WTR resulted in the best performance while the construction is subjected to near fault earthquakes. Moreover, it is noticeably recognized that WTR rate has opposing influences on the seismic displacement behavior of the RC constructions.

지진이 빈번하게 발생하는 지역에서는 비내진상세구조물은 지진 발생시 연약층을 형성하고 취성적 붕괴를 일으키게 된다. 그러나, 기존 구조물을 해체하고 내진상세 구조물을 신축하는 방법은 건설폐기물, 환경오염 및 민원 등 여러가지 문제들을 가지는 등 비경제적 방법이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 기존 구조물이 내진성능을 만족하도록 내진보강에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어졌으며, 이러한 내진보강방법에는 끼움벽, 철골브레이스, 연속벽, 부벽, 날개벽, 기둥/보의 자켓팅 등이 있다. 이 중 끼움벽 골조는 큰 변형과 접합부에서의 회전이 발생하는 골조와, 비교적 작은 변형에서도 전단파괴를 야기하는 끼움전단벽 등 복합적인 거동특성을 나타낸다. 따라서, 이러한 시스템의 거동특성은 개개의 골조나 벽에서 나타나는 거동특성과 매우 다르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 끼움벽의 내진성능을 평가하고자 하였으며, 손상에너지의 효과적 흡수를 위해 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체 (SHCC)를 사용하였다. 실험은 1/3 축소모형의 끼움벽을 반복가력하는 것으로 계획하였다. 실험 결과, SHCC 끼움벽에서는 섬유의 가교작용을 통해 시멘트 복합체 내 응력을 재분배함으로써 미세균열이 발생하였으며, 강도 및 에너지소산능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
