INVESTIGATION OP SHEAR WALLS PART 12 STUDIES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SHEAR WALL ASSEMBLIES

摘要

This report contains the results of investigations of shear wall assemblies for the Corps of Engineers. The models tested were one and two story assemblies containing two or three shear walls connected by diaphragms in all cases. Some assemblies contained front and back face walls also.nAs might be expected, analysis of results showed that diaphragms are quite stiff and (the distribution of load, in three wall structures is largely dependent on the rigidity of the foundation structure and the supporting soil.nAnalytical approaches to the problems are suggested.
