Abstract
A series of experimental research has demonstrated superior hysteretic behavior, damage mitigation, and self-centering properties of concrete shear walls incorporating CFRP grid-steel reinforcement. Developing comprehensive theoretical and numerical models becomes crucial to assess the performance of these novel walls for structural design and application purposes. Based on the preliminary experimental investigation, a strength calculation method and numerical model for slender concrete shear walls with CFRP grid-steel reinforcement were proposed in this study. The calculation method provided a stable estimation for the loading capacity and ultimate compressive strain of edge concrete for the slender CFRP grid shear wall. The fracture strain of outermost longitudinal CFRP grid and ultimate compressive strain of edge concrete were suggested for design. The numerical model integrated hybrid reinforcements and utilized MVLEM to simulate the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of CFRP grid shear walls, effectively considering specimen failure mechanisms. The model can well capture the hysteretic behavior of the specimen, involving the peak loading, envelope curve, residual deformation, and stiffness degradation. Finally, the parametric analysis was conducted to further investigate the effects of axial compressive ratio and aspect ratio on shear walls with CFRP grid-steel reinforcement.
