Experimental Study on Seismic Behavior of Double-Wall Precast Concrete Shear Wall
Abstract:
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.
