With cyclic quasi-static tests, the strength and deformation behaviors of five shale ceramsite concrete shear walls specimens were studied, the effect of height-width ratios and reinforcement ratios of shear walls were considered. The failure feature, strength, deformation behaviors of shale ceramsite concrete shear walls were analyzed after the test. Analytical result indicates that, the shale ceramsite concrete shear walls have good strength and deformation behavior and it can meet the requirements of the structure seismic. The calculation formula of resistance moment and the relationship between curvature ductility ratio and displacement ductility ratio were established for shale ceramsite concrete shear walls and the calculate results were compared with test results.

This paper summarizes test results of six heavily reinforced concrete masonry shear walls. The test programme was designed to investigate the necessity for the low ultimate shear stress specified by Masonry codes. Care was taken to accurately model good, but realistic design practice in detailing, and variables investigated in the series included steel percentage, influence of vertical load and confinement of potential crushing areas by mortar bed confining plates. Results are presented which clearly indicate that the maximum current code allowance for ultimate shear stress is unreasonably low. No wall suffered diagonal shear failure despite maximum shear stresses exceeding
four times the maximum code level. All walls displayed stable hysteresis loops at a displacement ductility factor of 2, and the less heavily reinforced walls (designed to approximately twice code levels) were satisfactory at
 DF = 4. Degradation was never catastrophic and occurred due to slip of the entire wall along the foundation beam. Methods for reducing the degradation are discussed. Confining plates did not significantly reduce the degradation of the hysteresis loops, but substantially reduced damage to the walls
 at high ductility factors. Values of required ductility for walls designed to the Loadings Code are investigated, and on the basis of these and the experimental results, recommendations are made for relaxation to the ultimate shear provisions of the masonry code.

This paper presents the results of an analytical study on the nonlinear deformation and ductility response of reinforced concrete ductile coupled shear walls (CSWs) under seismic loadings. The CSWs were designed, calculated, and detailed in compliance with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) 1995 and the Canadian Concrete Standard CAN3-A23.3-94. The parameters and assumptions of the study as well as the description of the models and the procedure were fully described elsewhere. Results indicated that the maximum interstorey drift from dynamic analyses was well below that obtained from static analyses with NBCC specified lateral forces. It was also found to be substantially lower for tall CSWs compared to short or medium-height walls, and decreased only slightly as the degree of coupling increased within the range considered in this study. It was also highest for seismic records with low PGA/PGV ratios. Plastic hinge rotations as well as accumulated plastic hinge rotations generally decreased as the number of storeys increased. The maximum displacement ductility demand factor remained below the NBCC value of 4.0 specified for ductile CSWs. The influence of degree of coupling on the maximum displacement ductility demand factor was found negligible. Also, the maximum displacement ductility demand factor generally decreased as the number of storeys increased. The maximum rotational ductility demand factor in coupling beams decreased as the number of storeys increased and was generally less than the practical accepted limit of 10, except for a few short CSWs.Key words: coupled shear walls, reinforced concrete, seismic, degree of coupling, frequency content, interstorey drift, plastic hinge deformation, ductility.

This paper investigates the influence of an opening in the infill steel plate on the behavior of steel trapezoidal corrugated infill panels. Two specimens of steel trapezoidal corrugated shear walls were constructed and tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had a single rectangular opening, while the other one had two rectangular openings. In addition, the percentage of opening in both specimens was 18%. The initial stiffness, ultimate strength, ductility ratio and energy dissipation capacity of the two tested specimens are compared to a specimen without opening. The experimental results indicate that the existence of an opening has the greatest effect on the initial stiffness of the corrugated steel infill panels. In addition, the experimental results reveal that the structural performance of the specimen with two openings is improved in some areas compared to the specimen with one opening. To that end, the energy dissipation capacity of the specimen with two openings is obtained larger than the specimen with one opening. Furthermore, a number of numerical analyses were performed. The numerical results show that with increasing the thickness of the infill plate or using stiffeners around the opening, the ultimate strength of a corrugated steel infill panel with an opening can be equal to or even more than the ultimate strength of that panel without an opening.

Cracking Performance

In this study, four single-story reinforced masonry shear walls (RMSWs) (two prefabricated and two cast-in-place) under reversed cyclic loading were tested to evaluate their seismic performance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear behavior of RMSWs with flanges at the wall ends as well as the effect of construction method. The test results showed that all specimens had a similar failure mode with diagonal cracking. However, the crack distribution was strongly influenced by the construction method. The lateral capacity of the prefabricated walls was 12% and 27% higher than that of the corresponding cast-in-place walls with respect to the rectangular and T-shaped cross sections. The prefabricated walls showed better post-cracking performance than did the cast-in-place wall. The secant stiffness of all the walls decreased rapidly to approximately 63% of the initial stiffness when the first major diagonal crack was observed. The idealized equivalent elastic-plastic system showed that the prefabricated walls had a greater displacement ductility of 3.2–4.8 than that of the cast-in-place walls with a displacement ductility value of 2.3–2.7. This proved that the vertical joints in prefabricated RMSWs enhanced the seismic performance of walls in shear capacity and ductility. In addition, the equivalent viscous damping of the specimens ranged from 0.13 to 0.26 for prefabricated and cast-in-place walls, respectively.
