STUDY ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF FERROCEMENT BOX SHEARWALL BY USING ETABS AND ABAQUS SOFTWARE.

  • Unique Paper ID: 182899
  • PageNo: 3636-3640
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents a comprehensive analytical and preparatory study of ferrocement box shear walls intended for seismic application, integrating numerical analysis with practical specimen casting. The seismic behaviour of ferrocement, recognized for its high ductility and resilience, is explored through extensive ETABS and ABAQUS simulations complemented by detailed, quality-controlled casting processes. The numerical investigation determines the wall’s natural frequencies, time-history responses, and dynamic characteristics under representative earthquake loading. Simultaneously, the preparation and curing of wall specimens provides a physical basis for future experimental validation. While laboratory load testing is yet to be performed, the results establish a robust foundation for ongoing development and deployment of ferrocement shear walls in high-risk seismic environments
