Abstract
A new type of assembled shear wall with energy dissipation and seismic damping function was proposed for the damage mechanism and weak points of typical assembled shear wall structures under strong earthquake effects. Using a combination of model tests and numerical simulations, four new assembled shear wall specimens with a scaling ratio of 1:1.54 and a shear-to-span ratio of 1.52 were designed and fabricated. The corresponding seismic performance tests were carried out. The effects of the number of bolts, axial compression ratio and longitudinal reinforcement ratio of edge members on the damage mode, hysteresis performance, bearing capacity, deformation performance, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens were systematically analyzed. The test results show that the damage mode of each specimen is basically the same as that of the common shear wall with the same shear-to-span ratio, which is bending-shear type damage However, the new assembled shear wall has more excellent hysteresis performance and energy dissipation capacity. Friction between the steel plates of the horizontal joints consumes a lot of energy and further inhibits wall damage. The energy dissipation value at the point of destruction of the wall is significantly higher than that of ordinary cast-in-place wall. The energy consumption value of the specimen PFSW is about 6 times that of a cast-in-place wall. When the number of bolts decreases, hysteresis performance decreases and wall deformation increases. The decrease of axial pressure ratio or longitudinal reinforcement ratio of edge members leads to the decrease of bearing capacity and increase of ultimate displacement of shear wall. Finally, the finite element model of the corresponding specimens was established by ABAQUS software. The simulation results were in good agreement with the test results, which indicated the correctness of the proposed model. And it can be applied to the analysis of new assembled shear walls.
