Numerical Study on Precast RC Wall Panels with Angle Steel Boundary Components
Abstract:
To evaluate the seismic behavior of precast reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall with steel boundary components, two pieces of prefabricated RC wall panels are tested quasi-statically under different axial compression forces. Both panels performed larger ductility than requested by the current seismic design code. Finite element model is then constructed to investigate the function of steel boundary components. The model is first calibrated by the experimental results. The strength, stiffness, and crack development all agree well with the phenomenon observed from experiments. Then the area of steel angle is changed as the main parameter to affect the seismic performance of RC wall panels. It is observed that the strength and ductility of a panel with steel boundary components are larger than that with common rebar boundary elements.
