Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Wall–flat Slab Joint Region With a Noval Ductile Detailing
Abstract eng: This paper presents the investigations carried out to study the performance of shear wall-flat slab joint region with a novel detailing pattern. An experimental investigation of behaviour of two identical wall-flat slab joint subassemblies was conducted by testing joint models with overall dimensions of 2.4m (height) × 0.84m (width): one with conventional reinforcement detailing at the joint and the other with a proposed novel reinforcement detailing at the joint region under lateral seismic type loading. Moreover, three-dimensional nonlinear finite element models of the wall-flat slab joint subassembly with the two types of reinforcement detailing at the joint region were developed and analyzed using ABAQUS/CAE software. It was observed that the proposed novel reinforcement detailing for structural wall-flat slab joint region for the construction of shear wall structures exhibited improved ductility in the joint region ensuring increased energy dissipation which is desired under seismic loading.
