INTRODUCTION
The impact and cost of the consequences of damage caused by earthquakes worldwide during
the past two decades have raised serious questions of whether current building seismic design philosophies are satisfying the needs of modern society. Most seismic design standards are based on a
life-prevention approach where building structural and non-structural damage is accepted providing
that collapse is avoided. No other economic parameters, such as the cost of damage to equipment
and stored goods and the cost associated with loss of operation following a moderate/strong earthquake, are currently accounted for in the design process. The rapid advance in technology has meant
that often, in many countries, the cost of equipment, of stock and the loss of business operation in the
aftermath of a moderately or strong earthquake are higher than that of the building itself. As a result,
and in spite of efforts aimed at improving seismic design methodologies and construction practices,
economic losses due to earthquakes have increased rather than decreased in the past decades.
The framework for a performance-based design was first proposed in an attempt to encompass,
directly or indirectly, all parameters within a set of objectives aimed at ensuring predictable behavior of
the entire building [1] and to, ultimately, mitigate economic losses. Within the framework of performance-based seismic design, significant effort has been made in recent years at developing new methodologies [2, 3] and new structural systems in a way that the design objectives could be achieved.
This paper describes a number of emerging structural wall systems aimed at minimizing seismically induced structural damage. The design of the system within a displacement-based seismic design procedure is also discussed herein. Finally, the paper describes the results of experimental work
performed on these systems.
The cost associated with the loss of business operation, damage to equipment and structural
damage following a moderately strong earthquake can be significant to modern society, particularly in
those centers of advanced technology. Such cost is often comparable, if not greater, to the cost of the
building itself. With current design approaches, most building structures are designed to respond beyond the elastic limit and eventually to develop a mechanism involving a number of flexural plastic
hinges. For this reason plastic hinges are especially detailed for ductility and for energy dissipation.
Whilst the concept of inelastic response is very appealing, it has two main drawbacks: First, regions in the principal lateral force resisting system will be sacrificed in moderately strong earthquakes
and in need of repair, or damaged beyond repair in strong earthquakes. Second, current design approaches are based on the premise that large energy dissipation capacity is necessary to mitigate the
effects induced by earthquakes. This premise has very often led to the notion that a good structural
system should be characterised by "fat" hysteresis loops. As a very large fraction of the input energy
is expected to be dissipated by hysteresis due to flexural yielding in the plastic hinges, significant residual displacements could be expected in a building after an earthquake. In a parametric analysis on
single degree of freedom oscillators, Christopoulos et al. [5] noted that oscillators characterised by a
flag-shaped hysteretic response, which have significantly less energy dissipated per cycle than elastoplastic oscillators, were subjected in general to lower ductility demands than elasto-plastic oscillators
with the same level of strength. An added benefit of a flag-shaped hysteretic response was the lack of
residual displacements.
The use of some widely accepted structural systems can become questionable in light of postearthquake occupancy and reparability. For example, it has long been recognized that, in moment
resisting frames of high-rise buildings, the best mechanism of inelastic deformation is the beam
41
sidesway mechanism, see Fig. 1. This mechanism distributes the plastic rotations through
most beams in the frame, precluding the concentration of rotation in any particular location.
Nevertheless, the distribution of plasticity in so
many locations in the structure can have a
severe impact on the cost of repair, particularly if
a prefabricated faade or ceiling hide such
regions. This potential problem is more relevant
to current design practice as little emphasis is
given to post-earthquake reparability issues, like
providing suitable access for grouting residual
cracks in cladded perimeter frames. Such
problems were observed in Kobe following the
1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake [4].
Another important issue in seismic design
nowadays deals with current societal performance expectations. While the principle of mitigating loss of life in a strong earthquake still prevails,
society expects buildings to survive a moderately
strong earthquake with no disturbance to business operation. This implies that repairs of incipient structural damage may not be economical,
and may no longer be tolerated in small and
moderately strong events. Alternatives such as
seismic isolation provide some of the desirable
response characteristics, but the cost confine
such alternatives to only landmarks of significant
importance and to bridge structures.
The main objective of this paper is to describe some structural systems that possess selfcentering characteristics and are economically
viable alternatives to current lateral force resisting systems. Particular emphasis is given to the
response characteristics of cantilever walls that
are explicitly designed to self-center after an excursion beyond the limit of proportionality. This
system encompasses a range of walls that are
jointed at their base and are properly detailed to
rock about their foundation. These walls can be
prestressed with unbonded tendons and can incorporate devices designed especially for energy
dissipation. Jointed walls are grouped into rocking or hybrid types depending on the lateral
force-lateral displacement response characteristics, see Fig. 2. Rocking walls show a non-linear
elastic response, whereas hybrid walls show a
flag-shaped response.

where P and N are the prestressing force after losses and gravity load actions at the base of the wall
panel, respectively, and heff and lw are the distance from the base to the lateral force and the length of
the wall, respectively.
The lateral displacement, r, at the point of application of the lateral force Hr, is obtained by combining the flexural and shear deformations occurring within the wall panel. Using elastic theory, assuming the wall panel is uncracked and that the shear modulus of concrete Gc = 0.4Ec, the following

where Ec is the concrete Youngs modulus and Ig is the second moment of area of the gross section.
When the wall is loaded towards point b, see Fig. 5, the neutral axis depth migrates towards the
extreme fibre in compression. The resulting compressive force at the base of the wall approaches the
extreme compressive fibre. The tangential stiffness Ked, Ked and Kp of the lines depicted in Fig. 5 can
be determined using the mechanical model shown in Fig. 6. At ultimate load, the resulting force will be
very close to the extreme fibre in compression. If the position of the resulting force is assumed to remain constant when loading through points b to d, the wall can be represented by the superposition of
a prestressed-only and a energy dissipation-only mechanisms, see Fig. 5. If gravity loading is small
and is ignored for practical purposes, Kr = 0 in Fig. 5. For a wall prestressed with tendons acting
through the walls centerline and incorporating axial energy dissipation devices acting also at this location the stiffness Ked, Ked and Kp are:

Point c in Fig. 5 marks the ultimate deformation capacity of the wall for use in design when incorporating axial energy dissipation devices. The displacement capacity beyond this point should not be relied upon
since the energy dissipators themselves will not be subjected to axial strains only but also to bending due to
the kinematics of the system [14].
The tangential stiffness between points c and d in Fig. 5 equals Kp. This means that the lateral force in
this region of the curve is given by,
H = K p ( p ) + H p
(11)
The self-centering response achieved in jointed systems enables hysteretic damping to be treated as if
viscous. That is, the system is ideal for use in a displacement-based design approach such as that proposed by Priestley [3]. This approach takes a non-linear multi-degree-of-freedom (mdof) system and condenses it into a single-degree-of-freedom (sdof) elastic structure with a corresponding equivalent viscous
damping ratio. However, the level of equivalent viscous damping in jointed system cannot be uniquely defined since it is amplitude dependent.
Consider the case of a wall prestressed with tendons and having axial energy dissipation devices at or
near the wall centerline. The energy dissipated, ED, by the devices in a complete cycle is from Fig. 8:
E D = 4 B u Fd d = 2 B u b Fd l w
(12)
where Fd is the force in the energy dissipation devices, d = b lw / 2 is the wall uplift at the centerline;
factor u is the ratio between the energy dissipated by an ideal bi-linear dissipator and a rigid plastic
dissipator with a force capacity Fd. Values of u range from 0 at the onset of yielding and tend asymptotically to 1; B is the ratio of the actual energy dissipated to that dissipated by the idealized bi-linear
device. Thus, this factor accounts for the Bauschinger effect. Typical values of B for low carbon
steel range between 0.8 and 0.9.
The strain energy, ESo, in an elastic sdof structure is given by,
E So =
H
2
(13)
The energy dissipation devices begin to dissipate energy once they exceed the elastic limit. This
implies the opening of a gap at the base of the wall. At this stage the lateral displacement at the
effective height of the wall can be related to the base rotation, b:
= f b heff
(14)
where is f a factor that considers all sources of flexibility in all elastic regions of the system: flexural
and shear deformations in the wall panel, in the foundation element and the flexibility in the system
induced by the rotation of the foundation due to the soil-structure interaction. Factor f is largest at the
onset of yielding of the energy dissipation devices. This factor tends to 1 as the opening of the joint
becomes the largest contributor to the imposed lateral displacement in the wall.
Now, the equivalent viscous damping due to hysteresis, h, can be obtained as
h =
ED
4E So
(15)
h =
B u l w Fd
f heff H
(16)
but the lateral force H in the substitute structure can be approximated by:
47
H=
lw
(Fd + N + P )
2heff
(17)
h = 2
B u
1
{ 1 + (N + P ) / Fd }
(18)
The lower bound for h is obtained when u = 0 h,min = 0. This situation arises when the dissipators respond elastically. The upper bound for h is obtained from Eq. 18 by replacing u =1, B =
0.9, f =1 and Fd = Fdu. Therefore,
h , max =
0.573
{ 1 + (N + P ) / Fdu }
(19)
The requirement for self-centering response implies that the gap at the base joint of the walls
closes upon unloading. Thus, the prestressing force after losses, in addition to the gravity loads, must
be sufficient to bring the energy dissipation devices to nominally zero strain upon unloading. Under
reversed cyclic loading in the tensile strain domain, the compressive stress at zero strain is very similar to the tensile stress obtained at the maximum reversal point for low carbon steels, see Fig. 8. This
limiting condition implies that:
Fdu N + P
(20)
48
Session 6
When Fdu = N+P, the maximum equivalent hysteretic damping is from Eq. 19, h,max = 0.287. In
practice, however, the maximum values obtained for h,max are of seldom larger than 0.20.
The total equivalent viscous damping, eq, for design should also consider the intrinsic and radiation damping. These two sources of damping can be approximately taken as 0.05. These two
sources contribute significantly to reducing the dynamic response at low amplitudes and less at large
amplitudes. Hence, the total equivalent damping in a hybrid wall is,
eq = h + 0.05

(21)
DYNAMIC RESPONSE
The static response characterisation and subsequent use of the response in a displacementbased design approach with a sdof structure falls short of describing the dynamic response of a multidegree of freedom system. Following a capacity design approach, it should be ensured that in jointed
systems the sole source of non-linear deformations are those due to the opening of the joints. All
other regions and elements in the structure should be made stronger to ensure elastic response. For
this reason, it is necessary in design to complement the understanding obtained from the static response characterisation with the trends observed from the dynamic response. In particular, the bending moment and shear force envelopes in the walls should be expected to be quite different from those
estimated with any static procedure.
Fig. 9 shows the bending moment and shear force envelopes obtained from non-linear time history analyses for a twelve-storey cantilever wall building subjected to a synthetic record matching a
design response spectrum. Analyses were conducted on models representing conventional monolithic
cast-in-place reinforced concrete wall construction and the hybrid cantilever wall incorporating axial
energy dissipators described in Section 4.
To enable a comparison of the dynamic response, the backbone moment-curvature response
employed in the analyses was identical for the monolithic and jointed wall models. The response of
the monolithic wall was modelled using the Takeda hysteresis rule, whereas an Origin-centered rule
was used to represent the response of the hybrid wall. The monolithic wall was designed for ductile
response following the recommendations of the New Zealand Loadings and Concrete Structures
Standards [15, 16]. The hybrid wall was designed to match the capacity of the monolithic wall. The
axial load level for the walls was small and was ignored in the analyses. Constant 5% damping was
assigned to all modes of response.
Fig. 9 (a) shows that, for the particular case studied, the maximum bending moment demand in

the hybrid wall develops above the base where the joint opens. In the case of the monolithic wall, the
maximum bending moment develops at the base. Yielding in this wall spreads upwards to about 50%
of the walls height, a value greater than currently assumed in design. In the upper half of the walls
the bending moment envelopes are nearly identical for both systems.
Fig. 9 (b) compares the shear force envelopes obtained from the analysis of both systems with
the design envelope derived from the recommendations of the New Zealand Concrete Structures
Standard. The shear force envelopes are very similar for both systems and are, for most of the height
of the walls, are within the design envelope obtained from the standard. This finding suggests that the
shear force magnification factor, recommended for the design of monolithic walls in this particular
standard, might also be equally applicable to hybrid walls incorporating energy dissipators.
EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Rahman and Restrepo [12], Holden et al. [14, 17] and Toranzo et al. [13] (also Toranzo [18]) have
reported testing a variety of jointed wall systems.
Rahman and Restrepo tested three half-scale precast concrete wall units, representative of a
four-storey building. The units were designed to ensure that yielding of the tendons would not take
place below 2.5% drift. The wall specimens were 4 m high by 1.35 m long by 125 mm thick. Units 2
and 3 incorporated energy dissipation devices, whereas Unit 1 was post-tensioned only. Additional
gravity loading was simulated in Unit 3 by externally applying 200 kN concentric axial force through a
servo-controlled load system. Fig. 10 shows the geometry of the test specimens and the loading

placements was maintained even after excursions to large lateral drifts. In addition, no degradation in
lateral strength capacity occurred with the progressively increasing lateral drift demands.
Fig. 13 (b) shows the hysteretic response of Unit 3. The hysteretic energy dissipation provided by
the axial energy dissipators is evident in the lateral force-lateral drift response. No strength degradation occurred during testing below 3% drift. The prestressing strands, together with the simulated
gravity loading, provided a restoring force so the wall always returned after unloading to its original
position. After the tendons exceeded the limit of proportionality, some residual drift was observed. The
apparent loss of stiffness observed evident at large drift levels in Fig. 13 (b) was mainly due to irrecoverable compressive strains developed in the confined concrete at the wall toes.
The extent of concrete cracking and spalling in the wall panel of Unit 3 near the end of the test is
illustrated in Fig. 14. Cosmetic spalling of the concrete took place over a length of approximately 180

Fig. 15 shows the equivalent viscous damping ratios obtained from the hysteretic response of
Unit 3. The equivalent damping levels ranged between 9 and 12% in the first large amplitude cycles
associated with drifts varying between 1 and 2.5%. This was principally due to the presence of the
energy dissipation devices in this unit.
The stress-strain relationship for a dissipator installed in Unit 3 is plotted in Fig. 16. The dissipators yielded extensively within the tensile strain domain, as expected. Strains of up to 7% were recorded in the dissipator.
Holden at al. [14, 17] tested two geometrically identical half-scale precast concrete cantilever wall
units with dimensions identical to those tested by Rahman and Restrepo. One unit, Unit 1, was a
code compliant conventionally reinforced specimen, designed to emulate the behaviour of a ductile
cast-in-place concrete wall. The other unit, Unit 2, was hybrid wall. A constant axial force of 200 kN
was applied to each unit to represent gravity loading. Both units were cast with 40 MPa concrete and
were tested under quasi-static reversed cyclic loading conditions.
The hybrid wall unit contained two ducts with 3-5.5mm diameter carbon fibre tendons unbonded

over 5.5 m. The elastic modulus for the tendons was Esp = 160 GPa. These tendons were
prestressed to 46% of the ultimate tensile strength to induce an initial prestressing force of 132 kN.
The concrete of wall panel in the hybrid unit included 35 mm long high strength steel fibres at a
dose of 40 kg/m3. This was done to reduce conventional reinforcement in the wall panel. Axial energy
dissipation devices, similar to those used by Rahman and Restrepo but with 15.8 mm in diameter,
were provided in this unit.
An arrangement of diagonal steel reinforcement welded to steel plates was designed to transfer
the internal forces in the wall panel directly to the foundation, without the need for confining the concrete at the wall toes, see Fig. 17.

The conventional precast reinforced wall performed very well in terms of ductility capacity and energy
absorption capability, reaching 2.5% drift before a number of fractures in the reinforcement resulted in
significant strength degradation. This unit, however, showed a significant number of residual cracks in
the cycles past 1% drift.
The hybrid wall unit achieved drift levels well in excess of 3% with no visible damage to the wall
panel prior to failure. Fracture of the energy dissipators was observed at 5% drift. The carbon fibre
tendons fractured at 6.2% drift. This suggests that this system can be designed to have large reserve
of lateral deformation capacity.
Fig. 18 shows a close-up view of the wall panels at the base of the wall. It is evident that the development of plasticity in the monolithic wall is associated with extensive damage, whereas at large
levels of drift no visible damage was observed in the hybrid wall.

Fig. 19 shows the lateral force-lateral displacement response of the units tested by Holden et al.
The monolithic unit, Unit1, showed the characteristic fat loops whereas the hybrid unit, Unit 2,
showed a characteristic self-centering response. Fig. 20 plots the residual drifts for the units. The
monolithic unit displayed significant residual displacements. These displacements were equal to the
peak displacement less the small elastic recovery. In contrast, the hybrid wall unit showed essentially
no residual displacements.
In many countries the adoption of seismic design approaches combined with traditional methods
of construction has resulted in structural conflict. For example, very often the design of frame buildings aims at developing the beam sidesway mechanism shown in Fig. 1. In actual construction, however, the frames are infilled with unreinforced brick masonry. The use of unreinforced masonry infills
in the frames leads to a dramatic change in the seismic response. The presence of the infills precludes the formation of the mechanism postulated in design. In turn, the brittle failure of an infill often
results in the formation of an intermediate column sideway mechanism and leads to extremely poor
building performance and even collapse.
Toranzo et al. [13] (also Toranzo [18]) reported the first shake table testing of a 40% scale
three-storey hybrid wall unit. The wall unit in this test was built with brick masonry infill, and included
the slabs, see Fig. 21. The columns were designed to for strain control to ensure small shear distortions would occur in the wall panel, while the wall rocked at the foundation. Energy dissipation devices,
in the way of tapered levers designed to yield in bending with constant curvature, were installed at the
wall toes, see Fig. 22.
This test unit was subjected to 60 dynamic tests on the 200 KN capacity shake table at the
University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Fig. 23 shows the response of the unit under the Taft N21E
record of the 1952 Kern County earthquake record magnified to attain a target peak ground acceleration of 0.5g. The seismic response of this unit was excellent. The masonry infill maintained its integrity throughout. No cracking was observed to occur in the infill. The maximum residual drift of 0.13%
was observed after an excursion to 1.8% drift. The residual drifts were due to the spreading of yield
lines in the slabs.

CONCLUSIONS
1.
This paper described the behavioural concepts pertinent to a new generation of structural concrete jointed systems.
2.
The main advantages of the jointed systems described are the large lateral displacement capacity,
the lack of structural damage associated with large displacements and the ability to return to the
original position upon unloading.
3.
Jointed systems can be explicitly designed with hysteretic energy dissipation devices to provide
energy dissipation with a theoretical equivalent viscous damping up to 0.287.
4.
The self-centering response characteristics of jointed systems make them ideal for use with a
displacement-based design approach. The equivalent viscous damping is, however, amplitude
dependent. This dependence must be considered in design.
5.
Results from non-linear time history analyses indicate that the dynamic response of hybrid wall
systems, as reflected by the bending moment and shear force envelopes, is similar to that of
conventional monolithic wall systems.
6.
Quasi-static and shake table experimental work have clearly shown the benefit of jointed systems.
