Resumen

This paper provides an innovative design of prefabricated shear wall that is suitable for industrialized construction. A restoring force model that reflects the hysteretic performance of the prefabricated shear walls with built-in steel sections is developed and a calculation method for cracking stiffness for prefabricated shear walls based on test fitting, mechanical calculation, and test modifications is proposed and evaluated. A calculation method of the ultimate load for prefabricated shear walls based on an ultimate equilibrium equation is developed. The results of this paper can be applied in developing design codes for prefabricated shear walls and serve as a reference for practical applications.
