STUDY ON STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PRE-CAST STAGGERED CONCRETE WALL

A staggered pre-cast RC wall system is proposed. The can provide the flexibility of interior spaces and simplifications constructions. To investigate structural properties system, experiments using scaled specimens were carried out with varying vertical load acting on wall. experimental results showed that capacity could be evaluated by sum friction force connection area dowel reinforcement bars. Non-linear finite element analysis was conducted, validated results. analytical also supported bearing mechanism.
