This paper compares the measured lateral load behaviors of two 0.4-scale “hybrid” precast concrete wall test specimens – one wall with solid panels and the other with perforated panels. The test specimens have the same overall geometry and utilize a combination of mild [i.e., Grade 400 (U.S. Grade 60)] steel and high-strength unbonded post-tensioning (PT) steel for lateral resistance across hor...

7 Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete can alter the interface between the steel and concrete and 8 thus affects the bond mechanism. This subsequently influences the behaviour of reinforced 9 concrete structures in terms of their safety and serviceability. The present paper attempts to 10 develop a numerical method that can simulate the behaviour of reinforced concrete walls subjected 11 ...
