Four test pieces with different steel plate center-to-center distances and reinforcement ratios are subjected to low-cycle repeat quasistatic loading to optimize properties as failure mode, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation parameters, strength parameters, and seismic performance of high-strength concrete low-rise shear walls. The embedded steel plates are shown to effectively restrict wall crack propagation, enhance the overall steel ratio, and improve the failure mode of the wall while reducing the degree of brittle failure. Under the same conditions, increasing the spacing between the steel plates in the steel plate concrete shear wall can effectively preserve the horizontal bearing capacity of the shear wall under an ultimate load. The embedded steel plates perform better than concealed bracing in delaying stiffness degeneration in the low-rise shear walls, thus safeguarding their long-term bearing capacity. The results presented here may provide a workable basis for shear wall design optimization.

In order to discuss how the different forms of steel impact on seismic behavior of steel reinforced high-strength concrete(SRHC) L-shape short-pier shear wall, four different steel forms SRHC L-shaped section short-pier shear wall members with low reversed cyclic loading were simulated by ABAQUS. The four steel forms were steel bar, solid-web steel, truss-type steel and hole-type steel. The result show that: different steel forms can significantly impact on the seismic performance of SRHC L-shaped section short-pier shear walls and the seismic capacity range from high to low as follow: with solid-web steel, with hole-type steel, with truss-type steel and reinforced.

In order to study the seismic performance of high-strength concrete composite shear walls with embedded steel strips, four tests for high-strength concrete composite shear walls with embedded steel strips (SPRCW-1 to SPRCW-4) were constructed and tested. Based on the test results, a discussion is provided in the present study on the hysteresis curve, backbone curves, and strain of steel plate and distributed reinforcement of high-strength concrete mid-rise and high-rise composite shear walls with embedded steel strips under different steel ratios and different steel strip positions. The test results reveal that in high-strength composite shear walls with embedded steel strips, the ductility of the test specimen can be effectively improved when the ratio of the steel strip reaches a certain level. In parallel, when the embedded steel strip is placed on both sides of the walls, the steel strip can function better. The ultimate displacement is better than when the steel strip is placed in the middle of the walls, and can effectively improve the seismic performance of the walls. The scheme with embedded steel strips is more convenient and economical for construction, which is suitable for popularization and application in middle-high buildings in highly seismic regions.

This study examines the influence of cross-section shape on the seismic behaviour of high-strength steel reinforced concrete shear walls (HSS-RC) designed with Grade HRB 600 MPa reinforcement. As part of the study, two flexure-dominant walls with rectangular and T-shaped cross-sections, are tested under reversed cyclic loading. Seismic performance is evaluated by studying the failure characteristics, hysteretic curves, energy dissipation, ductility and reinforcing bar strains in the two walls. As part of the numerical study, two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element modelling (FEM) are used to predict the seismic response of the rectangular and T-shaped walls, respectively. The test results show that compared to the rectangular wall, the flange in the T-shaped HSS-RC wall increased strength, energy dissipation and stiffness, but decreased ductility. The analytical hysteretic curves calculated using 2D and 3D FEM analyses show good agreement with the experimental test results.
