Numerical Modeling of an Innovative Cemented Bahareque Wall: Calibration and Sensitivity Analysis
摘要
Structural behavior prediction is a relevant approach nowadays. As the construction industry evolves, it becomes necessary to make new computational models for simulating emergent structural designs, as sustainable systems, with accurate responses to seismic events, being the case of the cemented bahareque. This study aims to produce a non-linear numerical model for cemented bahareque walls designs. The parametrization is done throughout the OpenSees frame software, calibrated considering a previous experimental study. The information of three tests under the reversed cyclic loading for each design and one test under a monotonic load. It is also proposed that a variation in wall schemes allows predicting the behavior and main failures according to different structural element changes. As result of this, presented contribution are expected to fill a gap in the literature for these construction systems and promote interest in refined computational development for future applications.
