Abstract

Many concrete shear walls are always subjected to high gravitational loads and prone to brittle shear failure under the lateral seismic loading which probably leads to the collapse of the whole shear walls system. This paper aims to present a new method of using slit steel plates to retrofit reinforced concrete shear walls, and emphatically analyze the anti-collapse and anti-seismic performance of the retrofitted specimens. A total of 4 shear wall specimens are conducted under lateral cyclic loading tests. One is the original specimen and the others are reinforced with slotted steel plates. The experimental results show that the specimens with slotted steel pate can achieve better anti-collapse performances than that without opening of steel plate.
