Abstract：Assembled shear wall built with precast two-way hollow slab is a new-typed shear wall built with precast concrete. In order to study its mechanical property, a quasi-static experiment is conducted with 1 reinforced concrete shear wall and 2 new type shear walls as the study objects. It was found that the internal and vertical joints of the wall body were vulnerable parts so that the new-typed shear wall experienced the loading process from the whole wall to the portioned wall. So, brittle shear failure can be avoided, deformability and anti-collapse performance are greatly improved, and shear capacity of wall body is reduced. The new-typed shear wall is reasonably structured, with convenient and reliable horizontal and vertical reinforcement, which leads to satisfactory vertical joint force-bearing capacity. Thus, it can be applied in practical construction.

Abstract:To study mechanical behaviors of shear walls built with precast two-way hollow slabs, two shear walls with different details of hollow slabs were quasi-statically tested under low cyclic loading. The failure mode was analyzed, which vertical macro-cracks appeared on walls due to the details of hollow slabs. Brittle shear failure can be avoided in terms of the failure behaviors evolved from integral wall to the combination of wall and columns. Test results also show that that dimension of transverse holes can affect compressive capacity of the walls when it is larger than that of longitudinal holes in the hollow slab.

Shear deformation is the most principal deformation in the lateral deformation of shear wall built with precast hollow slab which is designed to be strong shearing and weak bending. The special mechanical characteristic of the shear wall is the relative deformation of the concrete on both sides of vertical and inner joint respectively. The study introduces the measuring scheme of shear wall deformation and steel strain. The measuring method of shear deformation is designed and the device is used to measure horizontal and vertical relative deformation of the concrete near joints. It has been proved that the experimental measuring scheme can monitor the shear wall deformation and the steel strain successfully. The measuring methods of shear wall deformation and relative deformation are reasonable and feasible.
