Abstract:
To further study the seismic behavior of precast reinforced concrete shear walls in which the vertically distributed reinforcements are indirectly connected with a single row of rebars spliced by grouted straight-thread couplers, quasi-static tests are carried out for five specimens with cast-in-situ boundary elements. Three specimens have cast-in-situ boundary element at one end, while the others have cast-in-situ boundary element at both ends. The test results indicate that the cast-in-situ boundary elements and the precast shear wall work together as one unit, horizontal cracks and extended diagonal cracks are the main cracks of the specimens, horizontal cracks run through the interface between the wall and the base beam, vertical rebars yield before the specimen reaches its strength, and the concrete crushes at the bottom of the wall. All specimens fail in compression-bending mode. The ultimate drift ratios of specimens are 1/99~1/62. The current code formulas are suitable for calculating the compression-bending strength of precast shear walls, and the contribution of vertical distributed reinforcements should be taken into consideration.
