Experimental studies on the seismic<br>behavior of EWECS columns with varying shear span to depth ratio (shear-span ratio) have been conducted<br>by one of the authors. To complement and validate the experimental program, finite element analysis (FEA)<br>on EWECS columns with varying shear-span ratio ranging 1.0 to 2.0 under constant axial and lateral cyclic<br>loads are summarized. This numerical analysis uses finite element program, ANSYS APDL v.14, to<br>investigate the structural performance of the EWECS columns, which was compared with the experimental<br>results. A detailed three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear FE model of three EWECS columns with varying shear-<br>span ratio, subjected constant axial and lateral cyclic loads are performed. The FEA results showed that the<br>shear-span ratio affected by the maximum shear strength and failure mode of the EWECS columns. The<br>maximum strength of the columns increased with decreasing shear-span ratio. The stress distribution on the<br>FE models represented the failure mode of the EWECS columns well. More damages on the columns were<br>observed with decreasing shear-span ratio. In general, good agreement between the experimental data and the<br>FE models output in terms of the seismic performance and failure mode was observed.</p>}, number={43}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Fauzan and Ruddy Kurniawan and Zev Al Jauhari}, year={2018}, month={Mar.}, pages={1–7} }
