Research on seismic behaviour of shear walls with high-strength steel is limited. A combined experimental and analytical investigation was conducted to assess seismic behaviour of flexure-dominant shear walls. A large-scale concrete shear wall with Grade 690 MPa (ASTM A1035) reinforcement and 84 MPa concrete was tested under simulated seismic loading. The wall was a ¼ -scale of a 6-storey shear wall, with 4.53 m height and 1.45 m length. It sustained a lateral drift of 1.8% prior to developing failure due to the rupturing of longitudinal reinforcement. This is 35% less than the drift capacity of a companion wall reinforced with 400 MPa reinforcement tested earlier. VecTor2 software was used to conduct an analytical parametric study to expand the experimental findings. The results indicate that the reinforcement grade has a significant impact on strength, ductility and hysteretic behaviour of shear walls.

A new structural system consisting of precast concrete frames and steel shear walls (SSW's) is introduced and studied numerically in this paper. Two different models, first using ''exact'' FEM and second using approximate equivalent strip model (ESM), are utilized for analysis of such a system with nonlinear static (pushover) procedure. In the FEM model use is made of shell elements while the ESM benefits from simple links that replace the wall panels in the model and are oriented such that they work in tension. Because of good agreement observed between the results of the models in smaller structures, for taller buildings only the ESM approach is followed where computationally applying the FEM approach is impractical. The lateral behaviour of the systems under consideration is investigated with regard to parameters such as number of stories and beam-column connection type. As a result, the ductility, overstrength and response modification factors are calculated for this new structural system as quantities required for their practical design.
