Fondations. Tunnels Résumé : Design recommendations for steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems have recently been introduced into seismic provisions for steel buildings. Response modification (R), overstrength (o), and displacement amplification (Cd) factors for SPSW systems presented in design codes were based on professional experience and judgment. A numerical study has been undertaken to evaluate these factors for SPSW systems. Forty-four unstiffened SPSW possessing different geometrical characteristics were designed based on the recommendations given in the AISC Seismic Provisions. Bay width, number of stories, story mass, and steel plate thickness were considered as the prime variables that influence the response. Twenty records were selected to include the variability in ground motion characteristics. In order to provide a detailed analysis of the post-buckling response, three-dimensional finite element analyses were conducted for the 44 structures subjected to the selected suite of earthquake records. For each structure and earthquake record, two analyses were conducted in which the first includes geometrical nonlinearities and the other includes both geometrical and material nonlinearities, resulting in a total of 1760 time history analyses. In this paper, the details of the design and analysis methodology are given. Based on the analysis results, response modification (R), overstrength (o), and displacement amplification (Cd) factors for SPSW systems are evaluated.

Ring beam stiffness criterion for column - supported metal silos / Cem Topkaya in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 137 N° 12 (Decembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 137 N° 12 (Decembre 2011) . - pp.846-853 Titre : Ring beam stiffness criterion for column - supported metal silos Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cem Topkaya, Auteur ; J. Michael Rotter, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp.846-853 Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Silos  Cylindrical  shells  Closed  form  solutions  Curved  beams  Stiffness  Support  structures Résumé : Cylindrical metal silos are commonly elevated to provide access space beneath to directly discharge the contained materials into transportation systems. Evenly spaced column supports are commonly utilized. In larger silos, the discrete forces from supports are more evenly transferred and distributed into the cylindrical shell wall by using a ring beam. A fundamental assumption in the design of the silo shell is that the meridional compressive stresses are relatively uniformly distributed around the circumference. This assumption can easily be violated if the ring beam is flexible, so it is necessary to determine the ring stiffness needed to achieve a particular degree of uniformity of support. Current methods of assessing this stiffness rely on onerous finite-element analysis, which only provides information for the specific design being checked. In this paper, a criterion is developed to identify the required ring beam stiffness to achieve a particular degree of uniformity in the shell stresses. It is based on the ratio of the ring beam stiffness to the cylindrical shell stiffness in axial deformation in the fundamental harmonic mode of the column support, assuming that the ring is concentrically loaded and supported at equal intervals around the circumference. Vlasov’s curved beam is used to derive a closed-form solution for the ring beam stiffness and semimembrane theory for the cylindrical shell. The resulting stiffness ratio is verified using an extensive numerical study. It is shown that the method provides an effective means of determining the required stiffness of a supporting ring beam.
