ABSTRACT
Results are presented which clearly indicate that the maximum current
code allowance for ultimate shear stress is unreasonably low. No wall
suffered diagonal shear failure despite maximum shear stresses exceeding
four times the maximum code level. All walls displayed stable hysteresis
loops at a displacement ductility factor of 2, and the less heavily reinforced
walls (designed to approximately twice code levels) were satisfactory at
DF = 4. Degradation was never catastrophic and occurred due to slip of the
entire wall along the foundation beam. Methods for reducing the degradation
are discussed. Confining plates did not significantly reduce the degrada-
tion of the hysteresis loops, but substantially reduced damage to the walls
at high ductility factors.
