Samenvatting

In this paper, two methods to increase the ultimate load-bearing capacity of URM shear wall assemblies are investigated. By vertical post-tensioning or by using intersecting walls as flanges for the shear walls, the stiffness and strength of the individual walls may be optimized. As a case study, a typical office building is investigated by 3D FE analysis, including nonlinear material behavior in tension (cracking/softening) and compression (hardening/softening). The influence of adding flanges and/or post-tensioning on the horizontal load-bearing capacity is evaluated.
