Modeling of Cyclic Shear-Flexure Interaction in Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls. II: Experimental Validation
This paper presents the experimental calibration and validation of the analytical wall model that incorporates interaction between shear and flexural responses under cyclic loading conditions described in the companion paper. The model is calibrated and validated against detailed experimental data obtained from tests on five moderately slender reinforced concrete wall specimens that experienced significant levels of shear-flexure interaction. Test measurements were processed to allow for detailed comparisons between the predicted and measured wall responses at various locations and response levels. Response comparisons reveal that the proposed analytical model captures the experimentally measured nonlinear shear deformations and their coupling with flexural deformations throughout the cyclic loading history. In addition, the analytical results successfully represent various experimentally measured responses, such as lateral-load versus wall-top-displacement relations, magnitudes and distributions of deformations associated with shear and flexure, and local responses including flexural rotations, vertical strains, and concrete crack orientations. Based on the comparisons presented, model capabilities are assessed and future model improvements are suggested.
