I am working on a verification of RC shear wall subjected to cyclic loading using ANSYS APDL 14.50 but the results given by ansys are far different from that of the experimental results.
- I used solid 65 for concrete and link 180 for modelling concrete and steel respectively. Discrete reinforcement is modelled.
- i applied loads as displacement on the top of the wall.
- I am using transient analysis while solution
- I am also applying monotonic loading as 0.07*Ag*Fc
- The results which I am obtaining is 10 times less than that of the experimental results.
- Is there any other thing I should focus on to get my results.?
- Are there any suggestions for improving the analytical behavior of the wall ?
THANKS IN ADVANCE .
