Abstract text:
A requirement for the linear elastic structural concrete wall analysis is represented by the error control during the modeling. The analyst must be aware of the consequences coming from choosing from the diverse design models and take decisions accordingly, in order to maintain the error level as low as possible. The paper is dedicated to the study of some of these errors and investigate their magnitude in few representative cases.
Key Words:
shear walls; concrete walls; coupled walls; structural design; finite element model; shell model; frame model; design method; design errors.
