| Abstract |
Proposed in this study is a new type of earthquake resilient reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure, installed with replaceable coupling beams and replaceable corner components at the bottom of wall piers. At first, the mechanical behavior of replaceable components, such as combined dampers and replaceable corner component, were studied by running cyclic loading tests. Then, cycling loading tests were conducted on one conventional coupled shear wall and one new type of coupled shear wall with replaceable components. The test results indicated that the damage of the new type of coupled shear wall concentrated on replaceable components while the left parts were well protected. Finally, a case study is introduced. The responses of one conventional frame-tube structure and one new type of structure installed with replaceable components under the wind and the earthquake are compared, which verify that the performance of new type of structure is much better than the conventional structure. |
