This article presents the experimental results and analysis of five full-scale walls subjected to in-plane reversed cyclic displacements. All walls were constructed with reinforcement in both vertical and horizontal directions and, with a reinforced concrete frame in the perimeter of the wall as confinement. This research focuses on the effect of different aspect ratios of the walls on shear response. Force versus displacement diagrams and failure modes allowed the assessment of the seismic performance based on the stiffness degradation, ductility, drift capacity, and dissipated energy. An influence on the stiffness degradation derived from the aspect ratio was found. Ductility and equivalent viscous damping seem not to be affected by aspect ratio variations. The shear capacity is overestimated when the contribution of RC columns is explicitly considered. Using an equivalent masonry element instead of the reinforced concrete column gives a more conservative and realistic approach to the shear capacity.

本文介绍了承受面内反向循环位移的五个全尺寸墙的实验结果和分析。所有的墙都在垂直和水平方向上都用钢筋建造，并在墙的周边用钢筋混凝土框架作为限制。这项研究的重点是墙的不同纵横比对剪切响应的影响。力与位移图和失效模式允许基于刚度退化、延展性、漂移能力和耗散能量评估抗震性能。发现了对源自纵横比的刚度退化的影响。延展性和等效粘性阻尼似乎不受纵横比变化的影响。当明确考虑 RC 柱的贡献时，抗剪承载力被高估了。使用等效的砌体元素代替钢筋混凝土柱为抗剪承载力提供了一种更保守和更现实的方法。
