As a new type of structural system, the cast-in-situ reinforced concrete grillage shear wall system has functions of formwork, strength and heat preservation at the same time. It is suitable for residential buildings in seismic and non-seismic areas. The results of quasi-static tests on 20 specimens of small and large grid size grillage shear walls with different shear span ratios show that: both of small and large grid size grillage shear walls have excellent seismic performance; shear or bending deformation of horizontal and vertical limbs dissipate seismic energy so the elastic-plastic deformability of grillage shear walls meet the requirements of shear wall structure under strong earthquakes; the bearing capacity of grillage shear wall was calculated with formulas used for solid RC shear walls. The equivalent thickness of grillage shear wall equalized as solid shear wall is determined by elastic finite element analysis.

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.

Mechanics Characteristics

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.

In order to establish the relation between damage state and member deformation of the L-section RC shear wall, 216 FE models designed to meet the requirements of the Chinese codes were set up. The analysis fully considers the variation of parameters including axial load ratio and shear span ratio etc. According to the results, criteria of classifying failure modes of L-section RC shear walls are proposed. Failure modes are determined by shear-span ratio, moment-shear ratio and end columns' reinforcement ratio. Deformation limits corresponding to respective performance levels are put forward. Fitted formulas of calculating the limits are also presented. It is shown that the categorization criteria are reliably accurate in predicting failure modes. Deformation limits of a given L-section RC shear wall could be determined via axial load ratio and moment-shear ratio. The fitted formulas possess a satisfactory correlation with numerical results.

RC shear wall with STRC (steel tube-reinforced concrete) columns and embedded steel plate has been proposed and used in the project of an International Conference Center. In order to ascertain the seismic performance of this kind of composite shear walls with different openings in the practical engineering, four 1/7 scale specimens with shear span ration 2.0 were tested under low-frequency cyclic loading. The load-carrying capacity, ductility, stiffness and its attenuation, hysteretic property, energy dissipation capacity and failure mode of the specimens were analyzed. The effect of the embedded steel plate and the concealed steel trusses on the seismic performance of the walls was studied. The results show that the ductility and load-carrying capacity of RC shear wall are improved greatly by setting the embedded steel plate or concealed steel trusses in the wall; The embedded steel plate and the concrete work very well through the stud connectors welded on the steel plate and the tie bars inserted in the walls; The STRC columns have the advantage of higher load-carrying capacity, not easy to crack and better ductility; The new composite shear wall has good seismic performance and important practical value. It is suitable for large and complex application of high-rise buildings in the seismic regions.

Rc Shear Wall

Reinforced concrete shear walls play an important role in improving seismic performance of building structures. In this paper, a new type of RC shear wall with concealed bracing is proposed and investigated. Four 1:3 scale medium-height specimens were designed and a detailed experimental investigation carried out. The load-carrying capacity, stiffness, ductility, hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation of the shear wall are discussed. The failure mechanism was revealed by the experiments. It is found that in comparison with a normal shear wall, the seismic performance of a shear wall can be significantly improved by adding concealed bracing within the wall panel. Finally, a mechanical model of the shear wall is proposed and formulae for calculating load-carrying capacity developed. It is shown that the theoretical results agree well with those from experiments.

A study was conducted for the flexural retrofit of an old apartment house composed of a reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure. For the shear wall, a vertical retrofit was performed to both ends of the wall targeting the slender wall to improve the flexural performance. The retrofit materials were steel plate, epoxy, and non-shrink grout, and they were connected to the existing shear wall using post-installed chemical anchors. The concrete at the wall ends was broken and retrofitted as much as necessary to maintain the shear wall’s length. The points to be noted are the fracture of the welded part of the flexural retrofit and the chemical anchor’s pulling. After the real scale specimen was fabricated by simulating the existing shear wall, the retrofit effect was experimentally verified by breaking the wall ends, retrofitting the ends, and applying repeated cyclic lateral loads. A total of three specimens were fabricated and retrofitted using steel plates and steel tubes. Since this experiment evaluated the flexural performance, the experiment was performed with a cantilever setting. The flexural retrofit effect using steel was analyzed through the load–displacement relationship, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation, and through this, the bond of the retrofit and the behavior of the wall were verified.
