Experimental Study on Seismic Behavior of High-Rise RC Shear Wall with Diagonal Web Reinforcement

Abstract:

Based on the experiment of four models of reduced scale high-rise reinforced concrete wall under low-reversed cyclic loading, seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall with diagonal web reinforcement under different ratio of axial compression is studied, in comparison to ordinary shear wall. The experiment result shows that diagonal bars affect the distribution of cracks and help to resist shear slip at the bottom of the wall. Seismic behavior of high-rise shear wall, which horizontal bars are replaced with the same amount diagonal bars in part can be obviously improved when the ratio of axial compression is high, but when the ratio of axial compression is low, the effect is not obvious.
