Summary
A three‐story superimposed reinforced concrete shear wall structure model was designed to be tested on the shaking table in order to study its seismic performance with horizontal seams. Its failure mode and seismic performance of both the wall and seams were analyzed. The monolithic superimposed reinforced concrete shear wall was simulated by using ABAQUS, and the static pushdown calculation was carried out. The calculated results were compared with the test results to validate the finite element simulation, thus providing theoretical support for engineering practice. The results show that the new type of superimposed reinforced concrete shear wall structure can effectively transmit the seismic force and maintain the overall performance of the structure under various working conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
