Seismic Performance and Cost Analysis of UHPC Tall Buildings in UAE with Ductile Coupled Shear Walls.

ABSTRACT: The superior mechanical characteristics of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) have attracted the interest of many researchers worldwide. Researchers have attempted to perform comparative analyses on the behavior of UHPC versus conventional and high-strength concrete, with their aim being to gain more insights into the difference between different types of concrete. However, the current state-of-the-art revealed no direct comprehensive comparisons between their behaviors in ductile coupled shear walls under seismic loading. This paper explores a comprehensive side-by-side comparison in terms of seismic behavior and cost analysis for four 60-story archetype buildings. The reference building was designed using high-strength concrete with a strength of 60 MPa. The other three archetype var
