Seismic evaluation of flexure-shear dominated RC walls in moderaten seismic regions

摘要

The current study focuses on the typical design practice for reinforced concrete shear walls prevailing in low to moderate seismic regions such as Thailand. A reversed cyclic quasi-static loading test is conducted to assess the seismic performance of a large-scale flexure-shear dominated reinforced concrete shear wall specimen with an aspect ratio of 2. A strong coupling effect of flexure and shear responses is observed, even though the shear strength is about 1.5 times the shear corresponding t
