EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON AXIALLY COMPRESSED BEHAVIORS OF COMPLEX REINFORCED CONCRETE WALLBOARD

A new type wallboard with excellences including light weight and energy conservation etc is presented. A complex wall-beam-column structure which can be made by the wallboard can conquer some objection of brickwork structure. Eight specimens were investigated only on axially compressed behavior. The examined factors include failure mode, ultimate loading capacity and deformation under eccentrically compressed loading. The experimental results show that the wallboards have high ultimate loading capacity and can be used in complex wall-beam-column structural system.
