NUMERICAL STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF PRECAST SHEAR WALL CONNECTION UNDER SHEAR-TENSION INTERACTION LOAD
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Precast concrete shear walls have attracted many engineers and researchers because of various advantages, such as enhanced quality control, shortened construction time, and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional construction methods. However, their connection method, which must provide adequate strength, ductility, and structural integrity under various loads, is an essential concern in these systems. In addition, the seismic performance of precast concrete shear wall structures depends on the behavior and continuity of the connections between the walls. This paper investigated an existing vertical connection of precast shear walls in Canada using welded plates designed for a low seismic zone. The primary purpose is to improve the nonlinear behavior of these types of connections by adding some steel components like end plates and bent rebars. The numerical modeling using DIANA FEA is calibrated based on an experimental study on welded plate connection between two precast concrete panels under shear and tension loads. Then, the pushover curves of the connections are evaluated under pure tension, pure shear, and shear-tension loads to suggest some methods for enhancing structural response, including ultimate capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, and failure mode. The results showed that using end plates and bent rebars in these connections increased the ductility and post-yield deformation. However, the stiffness and strength did not change considerably.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
