Abstract
In-plane lateral loading tests were conducted to investigate the structural performance of SFRC shear walls. The test results revealed that steel fiber reinforcement mitigated damage to the walls and enhanced their shear capacity. The number of shear cracks on the SFRC walls at an interstory-drift angle of 1/200 was twice as significant as on the RC wall, and the maximum and residual crack widths were approximately half. Shear stiffness degradation after cracking reduced as the steel-fiber volume ratio increased. 0.5% and 1.0% steel-fiber volume ratios increased the maximum shear capacities by 11% and 17%, respectively.
