This study examined the effectiveness of the slip-resistance bars on the shear strength and slip displacement components of squat heavyweight concrete (HWC) shear walls with construction joints at the base interface. For the slip-resistance bars, X-, W-, and Ω-shaped bars were arranged at the base interface. W-shaped bars were more effective than the other bars in reducing the slip displacement at the base interface, in particular at the high inelastic level of the drift ratio of 2.0%.
