Abstract

To study the deformability and ductility of an innovative precast shear wall joined by bolted connections, experimental tests were conducted on two test walls under monotonic and cyclic loading, respectively; subsequently, theoretical analysis was performed on the deformation performance of the shear wall assembly. The test results confirmed the favorable deformability and ductility of the specimens. The top displacement of the shear wall assembly was analytically decomposed into several constituent parts, the theoretical formulae of which were subsequently deduced. The compositional analysis demonstrated that the top displacement of the test wall was primarily induced by the elastic deformation of the upper wall panel (UWP), the relative slippages within the bolted connections, and the flexural deformation within the plastic region of the UWP, while the constituent part contributed by the deformation in the connecting steel frame can be neglected.
