Static Loading Test on Structural Performance of RC Moment-Resisting Frame with CLT Partial Flat Wall

Abstract

In this study, conventional RC partial flat wall was replaced by a CLT panel, and static loading tests were conducted using 35% scale test specimens to examine the structural performance of a RC frame with the CLT partial flat wall. A parameter for the test was presence or absence of the CLT partial flat wall, and the results were compared in terms of the parameter. The experimental investigation revealed that the presence of the CLT partial flat wall increased the strength of the RC frame. Furthermore, focusing on damage to the CLT partial flat wall, no significant damage was observed throughout the loading, unlike those to conventional RC partial flat walls showing shear failure at small deformations.
