Experimental Study on Load Behavior of Steel Fiber Concrete Coupled Shear Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

Through low cycle reverse tests of three steel fiber reinforced concrete coupled shear walls, the crack pattern, bearing capacity, stiffness and displacement are analyzed. Test results show that the bearing capacity, yielding stiffness and the anti-crack performance of the coupled shear walls are generally improved by adding steel fibers to reinforced concrete coupling beams, and the stiffness degeneration is also reduced to a certain degree. More cracks are induced by steel fibers bridged the main crack, which can make the shear wall consume more energy.
