高层建筑中用剪力墙作为主要的抗地震侧力构件是不是一个好的结构选型?对它应如何评价?十多年前许多国家的规范对于采用剪力墙作为高层建筑的抗地震侧力构件是持保留态度的。以美国房屋统一规范——UBC(1970版)为例,它规定: “高于160英尺的房屋必须具有能抵抗不少于整个建筑物25％地震力的延性抗弯空间框架……。例外;在地震1区(美国烈度低的地震区,作者注),对于高于160英尺的房屋,可以由混凝土剪力墙来代替廷性空间框架。” Is the use of shear walls as a major structural member for earthquake-resistance in high-rise buildings a good structural selection? How should it be evaluated? The codes of many countries more than a decade ago used the shear wall as the anti-seismic side of high-rise buildings. The force component is reserved. Take UBC (version 1970), the United States Housing Unified Code, as an example. It states: “Houses over 160 feet in size must have a ductile bending space frame capable of resisting not less than 25% of the seismic force of the entire building.... Exceptions; In seismic zone 1 (America’s seismic zone with a low intensity, the author notes), for houses above 160 feet, a concrete shear wall can be used instead of a spatial frame.”
