- Abstract
This paper discusses the nonlinear dynamic seismic response of a 14‐story reinforced concrete core wall building designed with the prescriptive requirements of the 2019 California Building Code for a near‐fault site in Los Angeles, California, simulated with a detailed nonlinear analysis of the complete structure and subjected to an ensemble of three‐component ground motion input. The study follows up on a recently published work by the authors, which examined the response of the specific building to static lateral loads. The nonlinear model of the building was developed in the software FE‐Multiphys using a shell‐element implementation of the beam–truss model (BTM). The BTM has been extensively validated through prior studies for planar, flanged, and coupled walls under static and dynamic loading. The building model was subjected to an ensemble of ground motions scaled at the design and risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake levels. The vertical ground motion component and the out‐of‐plane shear degradation of wall piers were included in the simulations. The analyses elucidate the profound effect of nonlinear flexure–shear interaction and of the multidirectional behavior of the flanged coupled core wall on the evolution and localization of damage and on residual deformations. The coupling behavior between the core wall, the slabs, and the columns is also analyzed, and the importance of modeling the nonlinear behavior of all slabs for the residual damage evaluation is demonstrated. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of issues arising from prescriptive design requirements as well as of issues associated with limitations of standard nonlinear seismic analysis.
