Abstract:
For accurately simulating the dynamic mechanical behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear walls subjected to dynamic loads, in this paper, a two-dimensional meso-scale numerical model is proposed to capture the heter-ogenous nature and strain rate effect of concrete structure. The impacts of shear span ratio and strain rate on the dynamic mechanical properties and size effect law of the RC shear walls are investigated. The results indicate that: 1) the bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the RC shear walls increase with an increasing strain rate; 2) the failure mode of the RC shear walls is affected by the shear span ratio, while the bearing capacity decreases with an increasing shear span ratio; 3) both the increased strain rate and shear span ratio weaken the size effect of the RC shear wall. Based on these results, the dynamic size effect formula of the RC shear wall is proposed to quantitatively describe the influence of strain rate on the size effect. The proposed formula is validated by comparing both simulation and experimental results.
