The purpose of this study is to make a generalized analytical based on the proposed experiments on reinforced concrete(RC) partially infilled frames by U-type precast concrete(PC) wall panels with openings. RC frame and PC wall panels were connected with different strengths. Therefore, we developed modified strut-tie model(STM) with two seismic retrofitting specimens and conducted a nonlinear analysis by using a computer analysis program. Based on the test results, truss member of modified STM was designed, applying the strut-tie model theory of ACI 318M-11 Appendix- A. As a result, the modified STM analysis results were very similar to the experimental results. As a result of the load-displacement curve comparison, the failure load were similar within 5∼17% of error range. In particular, the experimental results and the results of modified STM analysis show that the failure behavior almost matched.
Cyclic loading test was performed on the partially infilled reinforced concrete(RC) frames by L-type precast concrete(PC) wall panels with the connections of two different strength. Based on the results of experimental test, the nonlinear analysis was practiced with modified strut-tie model(STM) method by using a computer program. Truss member of modified STM was designed, applying the strut-tie model theory of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-A. Modified STM was designed with two ways according to the test result. PC wall panel and RC frame were assumed to composite when push loading applied. The PC and RC structures were also assumed to behave non-composite and those two structures connected with link(top connector) when pull loading applied. The connection was designed by using elastic link of program. The results of analytical modified STM process generally conform to the experimental results. The failure load and the failure mode of the specimens could be predicted using modified STM. The ratio of failure load measured in specimens to analytical values were between 0.83∼1.16. The member or connection which was failed in experiment yield in the results of modified STM. The failure mode perfectly matched.
