Yatay yüklere maruz olan çelik elyaf takviyeli betonarme duvarların yapısal davranışlarının ANSYS programı ile incelenmesi

Reinforced concrete walls are considered one of the most important applications in the field of buildings construction, especially tall buildings, because of their ability to withstand high stresses caused by loads. Therefore, the purpos of this research is to investigate the capabilities of shear walls reinforced with fiber steel to discover the amount of deformations that occur in the presence of horizontal forces. The work in the research was divided into two phases. The first phase is to test the samples of concrete cubes to obtain the necessary data for the mechanical specifications of the samples. The second is the work of simulations using the ANSYS program. Walls of different heights were tested and subjected to different values of lateral forces to simulate normal use in civil engineering works. The results showed that the maximum horizontal load for walls reinforced with fiber steel exceeds the horizontal load values for ordinary concrete walls, safe in terms of bending capacity or shear strength. FE analytical tests performed for the two studied cases indicate that the load deformation response and final load behavior in concrete shear walls are in agreement. The study also showed that the optimal cohesion is when steel fibers are added to the concrete of the shear wall with a high loading effect. The midline distortion of the numerical model was compared with the experimental data, which showed the same distortion behavior
