Abstract
AbstractTo study the bending behavior of segmental precast diaphragm walls using bolted sleeve joints, 2 full size specimens were tested. Both BC and EC specimens were connected using bolts with steel sleeves as positioner. BC specimen was consisted of two fully RC plates while EC specimen had precast holes in the concrete walls for lightweight treatment. Ultimate strengths, deformations, strains and failure modes were obtained from the test results. Finite element models were developed using ABAQUS and verified against the test results. The verified finite element models were used to further analyze the stress state of specimens under different loading. It indicated that the bolted sleeve joint exhibited good bearing capacity and bending stiffness. The lightweight treatment in the concrete part had minor effect and the design requirement could be satisfied.
