EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM

Objectives• Investigate beam M- behavior• Verify analytical model• Verify design tools and procedures

• Beam-wall connection subassemblages

• Ten half-scale tests

CONCLUSIONS

• Unbonded post-tensioning is a feasible construction method for reinforced concrete walls in seismic regions

• Large self-centering capability• Softening, thus, period elongation• Small inelastic energy dissipation• Need supplemental energy dissipation in high seismic regions
