The Histeretic Behavior of Exterior Wall-Half Slab Joint Subjected to Reversed Cyclic Loads |
| Abstract |
Five exterior wall-half slab joints with welded deformed wire fabric were tested under reversed cyclic loads to investigate the hysteretic behavior. The test variables were the compressive strength of topping concrete, reinforcing method of joint core, and extension distance of welded deformed wire fabric. The effects of each test variables were studied separately. Test results indicate that the resisting capacity for flexural moment in exterior joint of half P.C. slab is similar to R/C slab joint, the maximum load of half P.C. slabs without anchorage was less than 1/3 of maximum load of topping slab, and the resisting capacity of specimens with anchorage at joint is 2 times more than those without anchorage in half P.C. slab joint under reversed cyclic loads. |
