Abstract
The reinforced concrete shear walls are important structural elements that are placed in multistorey buildings from seismic zones, because they have a high resistance to lateral earthquake loads. Structural reinforced concrete shear walls represents a system that provides lateral resistance, high stiffness and strength to a building. Reinforced concrete shear walls must have sufficient ductility to avoid brittle failure under the action of strong lateral seismic loads. The overall ductility of the structure increases, considering the energy dissipation solution, resulting a supplementary safety for the building. By placing vertical slits in the wall structure a substantial increase in ductility is obtained, and with this solution the degradation in the shear wall are greatly reduced. In this project, the static nonlinear analysis of shear wall is performed. The influence of the slit in shear wall with different slit dimensions is evaluated and also the influence of slit with varying the shapes of slit is evaluated. This type of shear slit walls is compared to the ordinary solid shear wall. The proposed solutions for increasing ductility are viable and easily to use in constructions practice. For the analysis of the proposed structural wall the finite element method is used, in this way is simulated accurate and realistic the behaviour of the reinforced concrete walls.
