Experimental Study on Mechanical Behaviors of Precast Concrete Shear Wall with Vertical Joint

Abstract:

Precast two-way hollow slab concrete shear wall is a new structure adapted to housing industrialization. To study the effect of the vertical joint on mechanical behaviors of shear walls, one reinforced concrete shear wall and two precast concrete shear walls built with hollow slabs were quasi-statically tested under low cyclic loading. The study of failure mode and failure process of specimens shows that vertical macro-cracks occurred in precast walls under loading, which made failure behavior of walls evolve from integral wall into split wall. It also shows that relative deformation formed along the vertical joint before peak load, so the ductility of walls is increased. New type shear walls exhibit good ductility and brittle shear failure can be avoided effectively.
