Prefabricated Rocking Wall Structural System
Prefabricated rocking wall structural system has the features of low seismic damage and quick energy dissipation, harnessing the unique response pattern of rocking. In this chapter, a new type of damage-controllable rocking wall system is proposed. The system consists of multiple walls embedded inside a frame structure, with the prestressed tendon providing the self-resetting feature, replaceable damping blocks between walls providing energy dissipation, and dry contact surfaces lowering residual deformation. Firstly, both the monotonic and cyclic responses are investigated theoretically. Secondly, quasi-static experiments are conducted using large-scale specimens. Thirdly, finite element simulations are carried out. The results show that the proposed system experiences efficient dissipation, low structural damage, and low residual displacement when subjected to earthquakes.
