Author(s): L. DE S. BASTOS
Abstract: Numerical analysis using FEM (Finite Element Method) simulations is part of the everyday routine in many academic centres and structural design. However, one of the main problems to do this task is related to the numerical modelling reliability, aiming to represent the investigated structure real behaviour. This way, in this investigation experimental methodologies allow characterizing the proposed physical structural model of a 19 story building, constructed in laboratory, based on the use of HDF (High Density Fibreboard). In sequence, aiming to validate the motion equations of the structural system, both numerical and experimental dynamic responses of the physical model were correlated. The results are presented in terms of modal parameters, frequency response functions (FRFs) and time history. The good agreement between the numerical and experimental results can corroborate the adequate use of the developed numerical model.

Abstract: The current research addresses Screen Grid Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) Reinforced Concrete walls, an innovative system that combines structural strength and sustainability. The system however is still developing with relatively few researches and yet not acknowledged by several design codes. The aim of this work is to further evaluate the structural behavior of SGICF walls. Results of this research may lead to and performed. The test program consisted of six walls that were divided into two sets. The first set was tested under combined axial and lateral monotonic load and the second set was tested under combined axial and cyclic lateral load. Each set consisted of three walls; a wall without openings, one with a window opening and the other with a door opening. The configuration and reinforcement of the walls in the two sets were similar. This part of the research aims at understanding the effect of seismic loading on SGICF walls. Accordingly, a cyclic loading experimental program w
