Abstract:Pseudo static tests are conducted on the same four fourstory 1∶3 scaled shortleg shear wall specimens with dual binding beams in a bid to investigate how concrete stochastic characteristic affects the structural responses.Structure design,material preparation,specimen construction and loading system are fabricated strictly so as to eliminate other uncertain factors.Loaddisplacement curves,strain curves and partial relative displacement curves are obtained.Moreover,the bearing capacity,stiffness,and ductility are discussed.Strains variability,displacements variability and redistributed inner forces behavior of three typical crosssections are studied.Finally,failure characteristic of different specimens is contrasted.It is concluded that coupling of concrete randomicity and nonlinearity has notable effects on structural responses.
