ABSTRACT
12 prefabricated composite reinforced concrete (RC) wall specimens including single solid walls, walls
with holes, walls with a gap and 3 cast-in-place RC walls subjected to low frequency cyclic load were
studied. The failure mode, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of these specimens were
investigated and the results are presented in this paper. This study emphasizes on the difference of
structural behaviour between prefabricated composite RC walls and general cast-in-place RC walls. The
integrity and composite actions between prefabricated and cast-in-place parts of the prefabricated
composite RC wall are discussed. The results have proven that the structural behaviour of prefabricated
composite RC walls is similar to that of the general cast-in-place RC walls, and the structural details
employed in these specimens can ensure good integrity and composite actions for the prefabricated
composite RC walls.
