Stress Analysis of Vertical Bar Additional Connector at the Joint of Fabricated Shear Wall

Abstract

Although there are many mainstream reinforcement connection methods, the realization of force transfer between reinforcement is the starting point of all connections and the most important inspection standard. Aiming at the vertical connection of the fabricated shear wall, this paper proposes a new type of additional connector connection, and two fabricated shear walls connected by new types of additional connectors and a cast-in-situ shear wall were established. The dimensions and material parameters of the fabricated shear wall connected by the new additional connector were the same as those of the cast-in-situ shear wall. The finite element software ABAQUS is used to perform static finite element analysis on fabricated shear walls and cast-in-situ shear walls connected by new additional connectors. By comparing the static finite element simulation results, the results show that the new additional connector can ensure the effective force transfer of reinforcement.
