Experimental Study on Shear Behavior of Mid-rise Assembled Monolithic Concrete Shear Walls with Varying Axial Compression Ratio

Experimental Study on Shear Behavior of Mid-rise Assembled Monolithic Concrete Shear Walls with Varying Axial Compression Ratio

The result showed that the brittle failure was extinct, and the new-type shear walls had good deformability whose ductility factors were over 4.3. The axial compression ratio had significant influence on the mechanical properties of the new-type shear walls. As the increscent of the axial compression ratio, the shear capacity and initial stiffness were improved, but the energy-dissipating capac...

Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Vertical Joint

Experimental Study on New-typed Prefabricated Shear Walls with Vertical Joint Under Different Shear Span Ratio

The results show that the shear span ratio has significant effect on the mechanical behavior of the new-typed prefabricated shear walls, and the new-typed prefabricated shear walls have good ductility, all the ductility factors are greater than 4.0. The study also proves that the construction of the vertical joint is reasonable and its connection property is reliable. The vertical joint which c...

Effect of type and distribution of shear studs on the behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls

In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...

Cyclic Behavior of Low Rise Concrete Shear Walls Containing Recycled Coarse and Fine Aggregates

In this study, the cyclic behaviors of low rise concrete shear walls using recycled coarse or fine aggregates were investigated. Eight low rise Recycled Aggregates Concrete (RAC) shear wall specimens were designed and tested under a cyclic loading. The following parameters were varied: replacement percentages of recycled coarse or fine aggregates, reinforcement ratio, axial force ratio and X-sh...
