Abstract:To solve the problem of frame supported shearwall structure with steel reinforced concrete in construction, the scheme that some steel bars in the structure are partly replaced by fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) bars with high strength allocation, good corrosion resistance, light quality, low elastic modulus and linear elastic properties was proposed. Thus, 2 pieces of frame supported shearwall, which were configured by sheer steel reinforced concrete(FSW 1) and some FRP bars reinforcement concrete(FSW 4) have been sampled. A pseudo static test and a nonlinear finite element analysis were conducted so as to explore properties of frame supported shearwall structure partially configured by FRP bars, such as cracks development law, failure mode, bearing capacity, ductility and hysteretic characteristics. The results show that the bearing capacity and seismic performance could be improved for the frame supported shearwall structure partially configured by FRP bars. Additionally, the results of the nonlinear finite element analysis agree well with the experimental data.
