Numerical Simulation of Prefabricated Frame-Shear Wall Structure with Keyway Connection of the Column to Wall under Unidirectional Horizontal Load

Abstract

To study on the property of the column to wall connection in the prefabricated frame-shear wall structure, these four connection ways are introduced in the article, which are U-shaped ,double straight ,chain buckle, double straight vertical U-shaped bar splicing. Using ABAQUS to simulate, comparing results of four connection ways with the cast-in-situ concrete structure. The results show that mechanical properties of four prefabricated structures are similar to the cast-in-situ structure, but the maximum bearing capacities are reduced.
