20.500.12556/RUL-183011 Evaluating state-of-the-art models for the seismic response of RC core walls with torsion Reinforced concrete core walls serve as the primary lateral load-resisting system in mid- and high-rise buildings, providing stability against wind and earthquake forces. Many of these walls feature non-planar cross-sections that lead to complex deformation modes, which require discretizing the wall segments for accurate numerical simulation. This paper investigates the dynamic response of U-shaped RC core walls using state-of-the-practice micro- and macroscopic modeling techniques, namely: Three-dimensional solid elements, nonlinear Beam-Truss Models, the force–displacement version of the Multiple-Vertical-Line-Element-Model, and the Applied Element Method. These models are validated against newly obtained large-scale shake table test data, assessing both global and local structural responses. Key parameters, including displacements, shear forces, rotations, torque, strain distributions, and shear deformations, are analyzed to refine numerical modeling approaches. Findings highlight some of the limitations of the different modeling approaches and provide best-practice recommendations for engineers to improve predictive accuracy. This study advances the understanding of non-planar RC wall behavior, aiding in the development of more reliable seismic design methodologies. concrete seismic modeling earthquake torque rotation strains drift walls numerical simulation beton seizmično modeliranje potres torzija rotacija deformacije zamik stene numerične simualcije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-06-01 11:52:55 2026-06-01 11:53:03 2026-06-02 04:34:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 27 str. issue 11, art. 2141 Vol. 16 May 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 699.841 2075-5309 10.3390/buildings16112141 279973123 Hoult...-Evaluating_State-of-the-Art_Models_for_the_Seismic_Response....pdf Hoult...-Evaluating_State-of-the-Art_Models_for_the_Seismic_Response....pdf 1 1E20CC05B5C6EA337ACDB31012C0698E 173ee7ff72dc12d0d486760d57607d9eb071f05f2f5156434c8b63502c896edc b90c0061-5d9f-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234793 https://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/16/11/2141 1 5459c5a9-5d9f-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234791 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
