Cracking Process and Failure Mode of the Walls with Energy-Saving Block and Hidden Multi-Ribbed Frame

Six pieces of the 1/2 scaled model Walls of with energy-saving block and hidden multi-ribbed frame,are investigated through pseudo static test.The cracking process of the wall models is analyzed,and several failure models and load carrying mechanism are discussed.The experimental results show that the main reason of section shape distribution in cracking process is due to the blocking effect of hidden multi-ribbed frame.The influence of each part of the wall on the wall mechanical property varies with its different parameters.The rational combination of the wall parts can be achieved by optimizing the parameters,and shear failure is comparatively rational failure mode of the walls.
