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.

This research investigates the development of analytical fragility functions for reinforced concrete shear wall buildings in Australia. A building stock for the city of Melbourne is used in conducting an assessment of these types of structures. The assessment uses the best information available for selecting the building parameters applicable to the low-to-moderate seismic region, site soil class, expected earthquake ground motions, and site response. The capacity spectrum method is used to derive vulnerability functions for low-, mid-, and high-rise reinforced concrete shear wall buildings. Although there is a paucity of earthquake damage data available in Australia, some comparisons are made using the results from the fragility functions derived here to the damage data from the Newcastle earthquake in 1989.

The high-rise concrete residential market has been a gradually urban mainstream in recent years, and frame-shear wall structure is more used for high-rise residential structures now. This kind of structure has the advantage that the combination of frame and shear wall make the space free and flexible, and therefore the whole structure has considerable rigidity. The structure can not only satisfy the needs for people living in comfortable, but also has good dynamic and static load bearing capacity. This paper analyzed the mechanics characteristics of the structure and summarized the two kinds of main failure modes of shear wall and frame structure in earthquake. On this basis, the main principles are put forward to improve the seismic behavior of the shear wall. And further some of specific measures and suggestions which can improve the seismic performance for the frame-shear structure are introduced.

BIPV is now widely used in office and residential buildings, but its seismic performance still remained vague especially when the photovoltaic (PV) modules are installed on high-rise building facades. A new form of reinforced concrete shear wall integrated with photovoltaic module is proposed in this paper, aiming to apply PV module to the facades of high-rise buildings. In this new form, the PV module is integrated with the reinforced concrete wall by U-shaped steel connectors through embedded steel plates. The lateral cyclic loading test is executed to investigate the seismic behavior and the electric and thermal performance with different drift angles. The seismic behavior, including failure pattern, lateral force-top displacement relationship, and deformation capacity, was investigated. The power generation and temperature variation on the back of the PV module and both sides of the shear wall were also tested. Two main results are demonstrated through the experiment: (1) the U-shaped steel connectors provide enough deformation capacity for the compatibility of the PV module to the shear wall during the whole cyclic test; (2) the electricity generation capacity is effective and stable during this seismic simulation test.
