Abstract:
The parameter analysis and the calculation method of shear strength for bolted-connection assembled shear walls (BASWs) were explored in this work to determine the effects of shear span ratio, axial load ratio, hoop ratio, and other parameters on their shear performance. First, three refined finite element models of a shear wall were developed and verified by pseudo-static tests using BASW. Second, the parameter analysis of shear span ratio, axial compression ratio, and stirrup ratio on the shear performance was conducted. Finally, the calculation formula for the shear strength of this shear wall was derived from the working mechanism, and a comparative analysis was performed with existing literature and specifications. The results showed that a smaller shear span ratio or a larger axial compression ratio resulted in larger shear strength, but the ductility became worse. Moreover, the lower hoop ratio presented larger shear strength and stiffness, but the rate of increase tended to weaken. The calculated values obtained by the proposed formula for the shear strength of BASW agree well with the experimental results. This alignment indicates that BASW exhibits excellent shear behavior, and the derived shear strength formula is highly applicable. © 2025 Editorial Board of Journal of Harbin Engineering.
