Author Description

This book proposes a novel precast concrete shear wall, named hybrid precast concrete shear wall, which is assembled by post-tensioned unbonded prestressed technology, local unbonded technology of grouted reinforcement and overlapping closed stirrup technology. Based on collected data from pseudo-static testing on nine full-scale specimens, the numerical analysis is conducted, and corresponding design method is put forward. Furthermore, several structural improvement measures are discussed, and the optimal scheme is determined. The book focuses on the seismic performance of proposed hybrid precast concrete shear wall and establishes the design method and optimal structural detail to guide engineering practice. The book is intended for researchers, design engineers, college teachers and students, who are working on/studying precast concrete shear wall structure.
