SHEAR WALL TYPES SEISMIC RETROFITTING
SEISMIC RETROFITTING INVOLVES MODIFYING EXISTING STRUCTURES TO IMPROVE
THEIR SEISMIC PERFORMANCE.
PIER SPANDREL
DOOR
OPENING WINDOW
OPENING T STRENGTHENING:
PIER
E ADDING REINFORCEMENT: INCREASING THE AMOUNT
OF REINFORCEMENT IN STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS.
SOLID WALL WALL WITH COUPLED PERFORATED
C JACKETING: ENCASING EXISTING COLUMNS AND BEAMS
WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE OR STEEL JACKETS.
WALL
OPENINGS WALL
H ENERGY DISSIPATION:
N INSTALLING DAMPERS: DISSIPATING ENERGY THROUGH
SOLID SHEAR WALLS AND PERFORATED SHEAR WALLS FRICTION OR YIELDING MECHANISMS.
I BASE ISOLATION: ISOLATING THE STRUCTURE FROM
SHEAR WALLS CAN BE DESIGNED TO BE FULLY SOLID OR WITH OPENINGS. SHEAR WALL GROUND MOTION USING BEARINGS OR OTHER DEVICES. SEALING WITH EPOXY
EFFICIENCY IS DEPENDENT ON THEIR STIFFNESS OR RIGIDITY. Q STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS:
SOLID SHEAR WALLS ARE MORE STIFF COMPARED TO THE SHEAR WALLS WITH
OPENINGS. IT IS MORE EFFICIENT AND DESIRABLE.
U ADDING SHEAR WALLS: INCREASING LATERAL
DUE TO CERTAIN FUNCTIONAL NECESSITY, SHEAR WALLS ARE PROVIDED WITH E RESISTANCE.
MODIFYING BRACING SYSTEMS: IMPROVING THE
OPENINGS. THESE SHEAR WALLS ARE CALLED PERFORATED SHEAR WALLS. THE
OPENINGS ARE PROVIDED TO PLACE WINDOWS, DOORS ETC. S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
COUPLED SHEAR WALLS STITCHING
WHEN A REGULAR PATTERN OF JACKET
OPENINGS FOR WINDOWS OR DOORS
ARE PROVIDED FOR EACH FLOOR AS
SHOWN ABOVE, THE OPENING ARE PIER BAR
INTERCONNECTED USING SPANDRELS
OR BEAMS. SUCH SHEAR WALLS ARE
CALLED AS COUPLED SHEAR WALLS.
FOOTING
THE CONNECTING ELEMENTS I.E. THE ANCHOR BAR
SPANDRELS OR BEAMS, THAT COUPLE
THE SHEAR WALLS ARE PROVIDED SECTION
WITH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL JACKETING
REINFORCEMENT TO TRANSFER THE
SHEAR FROM ONE WALL TO THE FOOTING
BELOW. PIER BAR JACKET ANCHOR BAR
THE OPENINGS FOR SHEAR WALLS CAN
BE PROVIDED IN AN REGULAR
PATTERN SO THAT AN EFFICIENT
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM IS OBTAINED.
SUCH SYSTEM PROVIDES REQUIRED
DUCTILE RESPONSE AND VERY GOOD
ENERGY DISSIPATION
CHARACTERISTICS. PLAN DAMPERS
