Abstract
This paper proposes a method of flexural analysis for structural performance evaluation of the RC secondary flat walls without wall vertical rebar anchorage. An idealized deformation model for the walls restrained axial elongation was also proposed and applied to the flexural analysis. Consequently, the results from the flexural analysis had good agreements with the experimental results, which identified the failure mode in flexure of the tested specimens. Furthermore, a simple theoretical equation was proposed to quantitatively estimate the maximum compressive axial force applied on the flat walls based on the above idealized model.
