Abstract:
In order to improve seismic performance of partially-restrained steel frame with reinforced concrete walls (PSRCW), concealed vertical slits were used in the solid infill walls. The one-bay, two-story test specimen on one-third scale was carried out under low reversed cyclic loading. The failure mechanism and hysteretic behavior of PSRCW with concealed vertical slits were investigated. Experimental studies show that infill walls with concealed vertical slits has little effect on overall elastic stiffness of the specimen, however enhance the structural deformation and ductility. PSRCW with concealed vertical slits can not only provide certain stiffness under the moderate level of earthquake, but also supply enough capacity of deformation and energy dissipation under the rare level of earthquake.
