Application and Experimental Study on Seismic Behavior of Composite Core Walls with STRC Columns

Abstract:

According to the structural design in a project in Dalian, experimental study on seismic behavior of composite core walls with steel tube-reinforced concrete (STRC) columns were carried out. Five 1/6 scale composite core wall specimens with different steel reinforced details in the walls and different openings on the walls were designed and tested under cyclic loading. Based on the experiment, hysteretic property, load-carrying capacity, ductility, energy dissipation capacity and damage characteristics of the five specimens were compared and analyzed. The results show that the core walls with STRC columns have good seismic behavior. And the seismic behavior can be greatly improved by setting concealed steel trusses in the walls.
