- Synopsis:
- In this paper the analytical accuracies of the authors' three macroscopic models, which are referred to the original, the simplified, and the elasto-plastic models, for evaluating the maximum strengths of RC framed shear walls are discussed. The analyses using these three macroscopic models were executed for twenty four specimens selected by JCI committee for verification of the existing macroscopic models, eighty nine specimens selected by Dr.Naganuma for verification of his finite element method model, and five hundred and eighteen specimens conformed to the criteria established by the authors, conducted in Japan since 1970. And their results were compared with the observed maximum strengths in experiments. The comparisons show that the analytical accuracies of the authors' three macroscopic models are excellent for large range of the various parameters of the specimens.
