Dynamic Response of Box Tubes to Combined Shear and Torsion
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 122, Issue 1
Abstract
Based on equilibrium and compatibility conditions, as well as a stress-strain relationship for softened concrete, a truss model theory for reinforced-concrete structural walls subjected to static shear was applied to determine the shear-force-displacement relationship as the primary curve for dynamic analysis. Similarly, the torque-twist relationship of reinforced-concrete box tubes subjected to static torsion was able to be determined using the truss model theory. In this paper, the inelastic dynamic response of reinforced-concrete box tubes to combined shear and torsion is predicted using the primary curve obtained by the interaction relationship between shear and torsion, the hysteretic model proposed for reinforced-concrete structures under shear or torsion, and the linear acceleration step-by-step method. Further, parametric studies are performed using the proposed algorithms.
