JK Panel, a Novel Three Dimensional Interconnected Reinforcement for Concrete Shear Walls

Abstract:

This study is devoted to introducing a novel structural wall reinforcement technique, called JK panel. JK panel is a specific 3D steel mesh with vertical and diagonal strips. The main feature of JK panel is its interconnected nature and closely spaced strips that leads to a high confinement for concrete. During this study, using finite element technique, behavior of JK panel is evaluated under monotonic loading. The main emphasis of the current study is on advantages of JK panels as shear wall reinforcement. Therefore, some different reinforcement details are compared with JK panel for one single wall constructed with lightweight EPS concrete. According to obtained results, JK panels can satisfactorily reinforce any concrete wall while they need lower development lengths and they have more redundancy and reliability compared to conventional separated rebars.
