Abstract:The rocking concrete shear wall is one of the new self-centering seismic systems applied in high-rise buildings. To reduce the effects of higher modes on base-rocking walls, the idea of using multiple rocking walls has been evolved. This paper presents a comparative investigation on the seismic performance of base-rocking and bi-rocking wall systems. To this aim, structures of 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, and 20- stories have been evaluated subjected to three sets of seismic earthquake records including 22 Far Field (FF)… Show more
