Abstract
- A new type of composite insulated concrete sandwich (ICS) wall is proposed. The wall consists of a three-dimensional spatial steel wire mesh skeleton, insulating core material and inner and outer concrete layers, all of which form a synergistic composite wall panel to work as the main stress-bearing member in the construction of multistorey high-rise buildings. To analyse the mechanical properties of the wall body, its failure mode was investigated. The wall's hysteresis curve, strength, stiffness and deformation were all analysed through a low reversed cyclic load test on two specimens, followed by an evaluation of its seismic performance. The deformability, failure mode, strain and ultimate bearing capacity of the specimens under the action of axial compression were also studied through an axial compression test on three specimens. The hysteresis test indicated that, in comparison with an ordinary shear wall, the ICS wall, connected through effective construction measures, had superior overall working performance under the same reinforcement ratio and its ductility and energy-dissipating capacity were improved. The results of the axial compression test also confirmed that the ICS wall had excellent axial compressive resistance, bending and deformation resistance, and high stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
