Experimental validation on seismic performance of a monolithic precast RC shear wall structure with novel connections

Experimental validation on seismic performance of a monolithic precast RC shear wall structure... A novel monolithic precast concrete shear wall structure system was proposed, with four connector types: “cast-in-site elbow reinforced concrete joints,” “dry connectors,” “shaped steel shear keys,” and “shaped steel boundary elements” based on welding process with stable and high quality. The first two connect walls horizontally and the other two connect walls between adjacent stories. A high precast ratio, over 60%, can be achieved. To evaluate the strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the proposed system, a full-scale three-story model was tested quasi-statically in the two horizontal directions. The model showed strong spatial response, demonstrating sufficient strength and stiffness to resist severe earthquakes. The coupling beams suffered shear failure damage. The connectors sustained large internal forces, surviving under simulated severe earthquake conditions. The external thermal insulation layers remained firmly attached to the precast wall panels, satisfying the design objectives. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advances in Structural Engineering SAGE

Abstract

A novel monolithic precast concrete shear wall structure system was proposed, with four connector types: “cast-in-site elbow reinforced concrete joints,” “dry connectors,” “shaped steel shear keys,” and “shaped steel boundary elements” based on welding process with stable and high quality. The first two connect walls horizontally and the other two connect walls between adjacent stories. A high precast ratio, over 60%, can be achieved. To evaluate the strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the proposed system, a full-scale three-story model was tested quasi-statically in the two horizontal directions. The model showed strong spatial response, demonstrating sufficient strength and stiffness to resist severe earthquakes. The coupling beams suffered shear failure damage. The connectors sustained large internal forces, surviving under simulated severe earthquake conditions. The external thermal insulation layers remained firmly attached to the precast wall panels, satisfying the design objectives.
