3 1 Description This example presents the modeling of the shear wall panel in Figure 1. The shear wall is made by a central panel, two columns on the side and a loading plate on the top where a vertical pressure q and the horizaontal load u are applied. The structure will be modeled using plane stress elements and adopting the Total Strain based rotating crack model as constitutive material behavior for the concrete centaral panel and side columns. A linear elastic material model is used for the modeling of the top loading plate. First we will build and check the model using a linear elastic analysis. Then, we will perform a nonlinear analysis while considering a monotonic increase of the horizontal load u. Besides the visualization of the contour plot of displacement, stress and strain fields, we will display in the load-displacement curve associated to this problem. q u ρ y ρ x ρ y y x Figure 1: Shear wall panel with grid reinforcement Structural Nonlinear Analysis of a Shear Wall Panel 3/33

14 Finally, we assign the material and geometrical properties to the steel reinforcements. We start from assigning the properties to the grid reinforcement in panel.

32 4.2.4 Load-displacement curve Finally, we will make a load-displacement curve. For this model, the load is actually a prescribed displacement at the center of the loading plate. Therefore, a load-displacement diagram should actually plot the reaction force versus the displacement of this center node.
