Modification of PBSD Procedure for Moderate Shear Walls Subjected to Near-Field Excitation
Abstract
\n In the near-field areas, VCE effectively exists which is so sensitive depending on the distance from a source and the earthquake magnitude. This has remarkable effects when shear wall is to be in moderate size which causes it to face wide diversity modes of failure. So, a modified procedure is conceived to ensure the response of the shear wall subjected to biaxial excitation. Thereby, there is an evaluation process that is based on the intersection of capacity and demand curves commonly called the performance point. The modification factors are developed based on the validation of performance points from which are derived demand and capacity curves.
