Effects of Web Reinforcement Amount on Hysteretic Behavior of High Strength Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls

전단보강근비에 따른 고강도 철근콘크리트 내력벽의 이력특성

Three high strength reinforced concrete structural walls were tested under the combined action of a constant axial and a horizontal cycle load. The aim of the tests has been to investigate the effects of the web horizontal reinforcement on hysteretic behavior of wall. The results have helped to identify the causes of wall failure and have demonstrated the web horizontal reinforcement does not appear have a significant effect on shear capacity, stiffness and energy dissipation but have a significant effect on the failure mode of the walls.
