Earthquake Resistant Structural Walls. Tests of Isolated Walls
The behavior of structural walls for use in earthquake resistant buildings is being studied experimentally. Isolated reinforced concrete walls are being subjected to reversing, in plane, lateral loads. The overall objective is to develop designs to insure adequate inelastic performance. This report describes the test program and the results from the first nine wall tests. Variables included shape of the wall cross section, amount of flexural reinforcement, and the use of confined boundary elements. One wall was subjected to monotonic loads and one wall was repaired and retested.
