Probability Based Load Combination Criteria for Design of Shear Wall Structures.

摘要

The report describes the development of probability-based load combination criteria for the design of reinforced concrete shear wall structures subjected to dead load, live load and earthquake. The proposed design criteria are in the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) format. The load and resistance factors are determined for flexure and shear limit states and target limit state probabilities. The flexure limit state is defined according to the ACI ultimate strength formula. The shear limit state is established from experimental results.
