REVIEW STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF SEISMICALLY TESTED REPAIRED SHEAR WALLS

S.KanakaDurga, G. Appa Rao

Abstract: Shear walls are normally preferred in RC buildings and other important structures to resist the lateral forces due to earthquakes, wind storms, or impact loads. They are frequently encountered in earthquake resistant designs recently. This paper compiles the review of literature on structural behavior of RC shear walls under cyclic loading, before and after repair under similar loading condition. The performance characteristic such as strength, stiffness, energy dissipation, and modes of failure of squat shear walls repaired with different retrofitting techniques are presented.
