Abstract
To ascertain the dynamic performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) shear walls, four 1/3 scale models, including three mid-rise shear walls with reinforcement ratio 0.25% but different recycled aggregate replacement rate, and one with reinforcement ratio 0.46% and 100% recycled coarse and fine aggregate, were tested on the shaking table. The testing process included elastic, cracking, and failure stage of the models. Dynamic characteristic and dynamic response of models at different stages were studied and the comparison between failure patterns of 4 models was also made. The shaking table test results show that the seismic performance of RAC mid-rise shear wall becomes worse with the increase of the recycled aggregate replacement. And the seismic performance of 100% recycled aggregate concrete shear wall gets a little higher with the increase of the reinforcement ratio.
