Results from two large-scale flanged shear walls tested under static cyclic displacements
are presented. The objectives of the tests were to provide insight into the behavior of shear
walls under cyclic displacements, and more importantly, to provide data to help corroborate
constitutive models for concrete exposed to arbitrary loading conditions. The results
indicated that the presence of an axial load, although relatively small, and the stiffness of
flange walls have a significant effect on the strength, ductility, and failure mechanisms of the …
