Experimental Study on Normal-Section Bearing Capacity of Steel Reinforced High-Strength Concrete L-Shape Short Pier Shear Wall

Abstract

Based on the experimental study of normal-section bearing capacity of four steel reinforced high-strength concrete (SRHC) L-shape short pier shear walls with two-way eccentric compressive load, this thesis discussed the failure pattern and working mechanism and get some general laws about normal-section baring capacity of this kind of specimens. The research results show that: the failure pattern of SRHC L-shape short pier shear wall with two-way eccentric compressive load is classified into two types-large eccentric compression and small eccentric compression; the sectional strain basically fit the plane-section assumption; steel and concrete can practically work cooperatively until the specimens are damaged and the steel of compressive region yielded; the normal section baring properties of the perforated frame member and the trussed frame member were fairly close to each other and the trussed frame has no advantage compared with the perforated one.
