Abstract
This study proposed a new low-rise bolt–steel plate connection precast concrete sandwich wall structure (PCSWS). Shake table testing was conducted on an experimental model of the bolt–steel plate connection PCSWS with two stories. The experimental phenomenon, failure pattern, displacement response, dynamic characteristics, and global hysteresis were analyzed in detail. The test results revealed that the proposed structure demonstrated excellent seismic performance without any structural cracks when subjected to an excitation intensity level of IX for Model-1. The seismic damage was moderate with no significant structural cracks after an excitation intensity level of IX for Model-2. Cracks in Model-2 occurred in the sequence of the places at the bottoms of the columns, the door corners, window opening corners, and the filled surfaces in the bolt–steel plate connection joint zone on the first floor. The observed damage states were primarily light and moderate, indicating the structure’s ability to withstand seismic events.
