| Abstract | ||
| Reinforced concrete walls are often introduced into multistory buildings to resist lateral forces which can be exists due to winds or earthquakes. In the present study, six models I–section shear wall models were tested under combined action of a constant axial load and reversal horizontal increased loading until failure. The study has investigated the effects of some parameters such as, the height – to – width ratio, the compressive strength of concrete, and the variation of main flexure reinforcement ratio on the behavior of high - strength concrete shear walls. The obtained results from the tests have helped to identify the causes of wall failure modes. The test results included the determination of ultimate load, deflection, mode of failure, crack pattern, ductility, stiffness, and energy absorption. | ||
