“…Simple rational models were proposed to predict the limit states of the connections. Foerster et al applied monotonic horizontal loads on five different types of horizontal joints and classified specimens' force stage. The above studies reveal the force stage and limit states of the joint.…”

Summary Precast shear walls, as an environmentally friendly building system, have been vigorously developed in China. There are many vertical and horizontal joints on precast reinforced concrete shear wall system, which certainly have a significant effect on seismic performance of structures. In this paper, 3 L‐shaped precast reinforced concrete shear walls that were assembled by 2 precast parts through a middle cast‐in‐situ joint and a compared 1 completely cast‐in‐situ were tested under low frequency cyclic loading to investigate their seismic behaviors. The vertical distributed reinforcements in the three precast specimens were equivalently spliced by grouting sleeves arranged along the center line of the wall, and the horizontal reinforcements were directly anchored in cast‐in‐situ joints. The experimental results, including failure mode, yielding load and displacement, skeleton curve, energy dissipation, stiffness degradation, ductility, and so forth were presented in the paper. The results show that the precast specimens have similar bearing capacity whereas much better deformation capacity and ductility compared to the cast‐in‐situ specimen. Additionally, the experimental results of ultimate shear capacity of specimens were also compared with that of the calculation results. These results indicate that the tested precast shear walls have good and reliable seismic performance and can be used as a structural member in engineering projects.

“…Different test setups, varying in complexity and cost, to determine shear strength are available; examples can be found in [4], [20], and [21]. Small-scale shear tests on sandwich panels with TRC facings from [4] were conducted with a double symmetric test set-up (Fig.…”

“…For many years, scholars have achieved dry connection of prefabricated components using steel members and bolts . Some studies show that the specifications of the high‐strength bolts and the thickness of the steel plates have noticeable influence on the stiffness and bearing capacity of the precast shear wall and the embedded steel parts also play a role in restraining the concrete and increasing the ductility of the shear walls . A horizontal ductile joint was designed using bolts and low‐yield‐point steel plate, and the ductility and energy dissipation of this structure is outstanding .…”

Summary To realize the dry connection of an assembled composite wall structure, a bolted connection based on the horizontal joint of an assembled composite wall is proposed. Five specimens were designed under monotonic loading. The failure modes, the seismic performance of the specimens, and the strains and slip of the connectors were studied. The plate thickness and the high‐strength bolts diameter are the key points of research. Moreover, the finite element model for experiment is also established, and the parameters are analyzed based on the numerical models. The results of the experiments and the simulations show that the bolted connection is feasible and the specimens have good deformation capacity. Increasing the plate thickness can improve the bearing capacity of the specimens. Finally, the formula for the shear bearing capacity of the specimen is obtained.
