Abstract
ABSTRACT Quasi-static tests of two 2-story structures reinforced with HRB 600 MPa reinforcement and ultrahigh-strength (UHS) reinforcement were conducted. These two structures showed an evident post-yield stiffness, which can be repaired before a large drift ratio of 2%. The structure with the UHS reinforcement had stable floor stiffness ratio, which can avoid the deformation and energy consumption concentration in the lower floors. The reinforcement diagonal bracing can effectively limit the inclined crack development, and reduce the shear strength degradation of the shear wall under large lateral deformation. According to the structure failure mechanism, an ideal load-deformation response was proposed.
