This paper describes an ongoing research program on the seismic resistance performance of the double-wall precast concrete (DWPC) shear wall. Low-cyclic reversed loading test of three new full scale specimens are carried out based on the previous studies. The test results indicate that DWPC shear walls have higher initial stiffness, cracking load, yielding load and ultimate load. The displacement ductility ratios of DWPC shear walls are no less than that of cast-in-situ shear wall. The hysteretic curves of all specimens are plump, and the trend of skeleton curves is basically the same. The seismic energy dissipation capacities of DWPC specimens are close to those of cast-in-situ specimen. All the specimens have shown favorable seismic resistance performance.

To study the seismic behavior of Double-Wall Precast Concrete (DWPC) shear wall, three full scale specimens are tested and compared under low-cyclic reversed loading, including two DWPC shear walls and one normal Cast-In-Situ (CIS) shear wall. By observing their experimental phenomena and failure modes, contrasting their displacement ductility coefficients, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves and energy dissipation capacity, the seismic behavior were synthetically evaluated on aspects of strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. Compared with CIS specimen, DWPC specimens have higher initial stiffness, increased cracking loads by 43% to 47%, and the ultimate loads increased by 22% to 23%. The displacement ductility ratios also meet the ductility requirements with value of 5. The hysteretic curves of three specimens are plump, and the trend of skeleton curves is basically the same. The DWPC specimens demonstrated a good energy dissipation capacity. All the specimens had shown favorable seismic performance.

Resistance Performance

According to arrangements of local cast-in-situ regions, new precast concrete shear wall (NPC wall) has various types including integrally precast component, component with precast concealed columns and local region of wall by casting in situ, component with precast one end concealed column and the other end by casting in situ and component with all cast-in-situ concealed columns. By finite element analysis for four types of NPC wall and comparing with monolithic cast-in-situ finite element model, the lateral resistance performance of each type of NPC wall were discussed. Compared with cast-in-situ finite element model, NPC wall has rather different lateral resistant mechanism, the load-displacement curves are obviously different, and the horizontal and vertical connections decrease the strength and stiffness. The reasonable arrangement of local cast-in-situ regions can effectively improve the lateral resistance performance of NPC wall. The model composed of all cast-in-situ concealed columns, which has similar lateral resistant performance to cast-in-situ model and shows reasonable load mechanism, should be recommended. Meanwhile, the model consisting of precast concealed column and local cast-in-situ region of wall should be avoided for its poor performance.

Background: To study the flexural behaviors of the concrete shear walls with precast hollow slab, one cast in-situ reinforced concrete shear wall and two precast two-way hollow slab shear walls (PTHSWs) vertical joint were tested under low cyclic loading. Objective: The study showed that vertical joints of PTHSW are safe and reliable to ensure the effective connection between the assembly units. The ductility coefficient of shear wall is larger than 7, so this kind of shear wall has good ability of deformation especially under earthquake load. Results: The interface can effectively ensure the integral performance of PTHSWs and its effect on the flexural behaviors of PTHSWs could be ignored.

The shear wall built with precast two-way hollow slab is an innovated precast concrete shear wall suitable for housing industrialization. Two shear walls built with precast two-way hollow slabs were tested pseudo-statically under low cyclic lateral loads to acquire their failure process and modes. The effect of the axial compression load was investigated. The study proved that vertical cracks along the vertical holes of the new type shear wall have been appeared to avoid brittle shear failure, and the shear wall developed integral section wall to walls-columns combination. As the results, the shear walls have the adequate deformability. The test results showed that with the increase of axial compressive ratio, crack development has been limited and the energy dissipation capacity has been improved. It also can be found that with the increase of the axial compressive load, shear capacity of the new type shear walls have been improved.

Assembled shear wall built with precast two-way hollow slab is a new-typed shear wall built with precast concrete. In order to study its mechanical property, a quasi-static experiment is conducted with 1 reinforced concrete shear wall and 2 new type shear walls as the study objects. It was found that the internal and vertical joints of the wall body were vulnerable parts so that the new-typed shear wall experienced the loading process from the whole wall to the portioned wall. So, brittle shear failure can be avoided, deformability and anti-collapse performance are greatly improved, and shear capacity of wall body is reduced. The new-typed shear wall is reasonably structured, with convenient and reliable horizontal and vertical reinforcement, which leads to satisfactory vertical joint force-bearing capacity. Thus, it can be applied in practical construction.

Compared with traditional precast concrete composite shear walls (PCCSWs) with two boundary elements adjacent to edges, the PCCSWs with multiple boundary elements investigated in this paper have extra boundary elements at the intersections with other shear walls. In this paper, low reversed cyclic loading tests were conducted on three full-scale shear wall specimens with multiple boundary elements under in-plane loading and two full-scale shear wall specimens under out-of-plane loading. The in-plane loaded specimens included a PCCSW with double precast layers (i.e. precast concrete double skin shear wall, PCDSSW), a PCCSW with single precast layer, and a cast-in-pace (CIP) control specimen, whereas the out-of-plane loaded specimens included a PCDSSW and a CIP control specimen. Test results revealed that all specimens failed in bending. The hysteresis loops of the precast composite specimens were stable but slightly pinching, which were similar to those of the corresponding CIP control specimen. Compared with the CIP specimens, the PCDSSWs showed similar energy dissipation. The loading capacity of the precast composite specimens was generally a little lower than that of the corresponding CIP specimen with difference not more than 15%. In the in-plane loading tests, the PCDSSW reached higher displacement ductility (2.45) than the CIP specimen (1.88), whereas the ductility of the PCCSW with single precast layer was relatively low. Regarding the specimens under out-of-plane loading, the ductility of the PCDSSW (3.83) was close to that of the CIP specimen (3.02). Moreover, the stiffness degradation of the precast composite specimens was found to be comparable to that of the control specimens. Based on the test results, a restoring force model was developed.

Precast two-way hollow slab concrete shear wall is a new structure adapted to housing industrialization. To study the effect of the vertical joint on mechanical behaviors of shear walls, one reinforced concrete shear wall and two precast concrete shear walls built with hollow slabs were quasi-statically tested under low cyclic loading. The study of failure mode and failure process of specimens shows that vertical macro-cracks occurred in precast walls under loading, which made failure behavior of walls evolve from integral wall into split wall. It also shows that relative deformation formed along the vertical joint before peak load, so the ductility of walls is increased. New type shear walls exhibit good ductility and brittle shear failure can be avoided effectively.
