An Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of High-Strength Composite Shear Walls

Abstract

In order to study the seismic performance of high-strength concrete composite shear walls with embedded steel strips, four tests for high-strength concrete composite shear walls with embedded steel strips (SPRCW-1 to SPRCW-4) were constructed and tested. Based on the test results, a discussion is provided in the present study on the hysteresis curve, backbone curves, and strain of steel plate and distributed reinforcement of high-strength concrete mid-rise and high-rise composite shear walls with embedded steel strips under different steel ratios and different steel strip positions. The test results reveal that in high-strength composite shear walls with embedded steel strips, the ductility of the test specimen can be effectively improved when the ratio of the steel strip reaches a certain level. In parallel, when the embedded steel strip is placed on both sides of the walls, the steel strip can function better. The ultimate displacement is better than when the steel strip is placed in the middle of the walls, and can effectively improve the seismic performance of the walls. The scheme with embedded steel strips is more convenient and economical for construction, which is suitable for popularization and application in middle-high buildings in highly seismic regions.

Visual Monitoring Technology for Substation Vulnerable High-Voltage Electrical Equipment Based on ISSA-LSTM Deep Learning Model Coupling Video Overlay Algorithm

“…e American Applied Technology Council (ATC) gave earthquake vulnerability curves for various types of lifeline equipment and facilities based on expert experience [9] for use on the US earthquake emergency (FEMA) seismic risk analysis system HAZAS [10]. Previously, more research has been conducted for substation visualization and monitoring, and some researchers have studied the design of remote video monitoring system for substations based on self-assembling networks [11].…”
