Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the shear resisting capacity of precast wall-to-wall horizontal connection system by dowel action and shear friction. Three types of connection systems, which have varying embedment length in the upper wall panels, were investigated. The specimens were subjected to displacement-controlled lateral loading. The parameters investigated were the load–deformation relationship, ultimate load carrying capacity, ductility and energy dissipation. The experimental values were compared with the theoretical values of ultimate shear resisting capacity calculated from the Von Mises yield criteria, ductile bending failure due to the formation of plastic hinges and the shear friction hypothesis.
