Abstract
Using steel shear wall (SSW) system is very common to improve the performance of steel structures; However, the use of this system to strengthen concrete structures has not been given much attention. The present paper aimed to proposed a practical performance-based level method for seismic improvement of high-rise flexural concrete frames equipped with SSW. To this end, 15, 20 and 25-story high-rise concrete frames in both base and retrofitted modes with SSW system have been modeled in ETABS. After calling them in Opensees, their seismic behavior has evaluated by performing nonlinear time history analysis under earthquakes. The inter-story drift and shear force of the frames have investigated in two abovementioned modes at the levels of life safety performance (LS) and collapse prevention (CP) according to guidelines limitations. The results showed that concrete frames equipped with SSW as an intelligent system, by increase in the lateral stiffness, in addition to uniformizing the drift distribution along the height, can significantly reduce the maximum middle story drift (more than 60%). Also, the shear capacity of the middle stories for the retrofitted concrete frames increased about 20% to 30% at different performance levels. Consequently, it was found that high-rise concrete frames in the base modes, due to the lack of a strong lateral load-bearing system, are not able to absorb the horizontal forces applied by the earthquake. Also, frames do not have a good ability to present a hysterical behavior of energy. Therefore, the maximum plastic capacity of the frames is not mobilized to dissipate the input energy. However, by using the SSW system, the non-uniform drift distribution and the shear force of the middle stories change more effectively in line with the height of the structure in accordance with the maximum allowable drift values of the regulations.
