Numerical Theoretical Study on Mechanical Properties of New Reinforced Tenon Precast Shear Walls by Wei Chen, Qing Wu, Dongyue Wu, Longji Dang, Feifei Jiang

“…However, the joint interface slippage between the precast components causes detrimental effect on the mechanical properties, such as dowel shear stress on the connecting steel bars, which strictly restricts the development of assembly technology in aseismic structure. In order to eliminate the horizontal slippage along the assemble joint and optimize the mechanical performance of horizontal joint connections, a new reinforced tenon joint precast shear wall is proposed in this paper. …”
