    Abstract:

    As it is difficult to repair the damaged conventional coupling beams, the concept of providing an energy dissipation fuse in a coupling beam has been developed and investigated over the past few years.The energy dissipation fuse is designed to dissipate seismic energy in moderate earthquakes or rare earthquakes, and can be replaced easily after the earthquake.Based on the ABAQUS procedure, a refined analytical model of large scale coupled shear wall specimen with replaceable coupling beams was established to conduct static push-over analysis.The material constitutive model and modeling approach were also introduced.By comparing the computational and experiment results, it can be found that the replaceable coupling beams can make the damage and energy dissipation concentrate in the replaceable fuse, and the simulation methods can precisely predict the initial stiffness and peak bearing capacity of the new shear wall.In addition, the simulation can well predict the yield sequence of shear wall specimen.It is hoped that the proposed simulation methods can be widely used to simulate similar shear wall structures in future.
