Influences of Vertical Slits on the Shear Behavior of Strain-Hardening Cement Composite (SHCC) Infill Walls Based on FEM Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper provides the analytical mode and results of three strain hardening cement composite (SHCC) infill walls tested under laterally cyclic loading. The main variables of the experimental tests were vertical slit and slit length. The comparison between the experimental and analytical results showed that the shear strength was different depending on the slit length. A two-dimensional FEM analytical model was constructed in order to predict the behavior of the tested walls. The smeared crack model for SHCC elements was determined non-orthotropically crack model considered that it is able to represent fixed cracking. A good agreement was found between the test and the prediction in terms of lateral load-displacement relations and damage distribution.
