YANG Pu, TANG Jing. Analysis of Failure Mechanism of RC Structures with Specially Shaped Columns Affected by the Diaphragm[J]. Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2011, 33(4): 35-41. DOI: 10.11835/j.issn.1674-4764.2011.04.007.
the seismic behaviors of RC structures with specially shaped columns
designed according to the current code
are analyzed under unidirectional rare earthquakes using nonlinear dynamic analysis method.The beam strength is calculated with or without consideration of the diaphragm and its reinforcement.The results are compared and the conclusion has been drawn that the bending capacity of beams would be increased due to the effect of diaphragm and its reinforcement
and which would change the failure mechanism of RC frames under rare earthquake
especially in high intensity areas.Therefore the influence of the diaphragm should be considered during the seismic design of the type of structure.
