Study on Mechanical Performance of Wall-Column Subassembly in New Precast Reinforced Concrete Frame-Shearwall Structure

A practical connection method of wall-column subassembly in new precast reinforced concrete frame-shearwall structure was proposed in this paper. Based on the general finite element software ABAQUS, numerical simulations were carried out on the mechanical performance of the precast and cast-in-situ wall-column subassemblies by using concrete damaged plastic model and bilinear kinematic hardening model. Results showed that mechanical performance of the precast wall-column subassembly, such as carrying capacities, deformations and failure modes, were almost equal to the cast-in-situ wall-column subassembly. Feasibility of the connection method which this paper proposed is verified preliminarily. The research results can provide theoretical references for related experimental researches, engineering designs and constructions.
