description The application of ECC materials in major stress and energy dissipation regions of prefabricated reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls to form prefabricated ECC/RC combined shear walls can improve the seismic capacity of structures. The stress and damage mechanism of a 1/2-scale two-story spatial structure specimen of the prefabricated ECC/RC combined shear wall under low cyclic loading is numerically simulated. By comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental results, the correctness of the numerical simulation method is verified. On this basis, a detailed whole process analysis is carried out by the numerical simulation method, including the stress distribution of the concrete and ECC, compression damage of the concrete and ECC, crack distribution of the concrete and ECC, stress distribution of the reinforcement, and structural and fabricated joint displacement. The whole process analysis effectively reflects the cracking, damage, and failure law of the specimen and extensively reveals the failure mechanism and internal force distribution law of the fabricated ECC/RC combined shear wall structure. Based on the stress and damage mechanism, the seismic energy dissipation performance with different ranges of ECC use in the bottom of the wall is studied. The results show that when the ECC height of the bottom walls is 400 mm, the energy dissipation performance of the prefabricated ECC/RC combined shear wall structure reaches an optimal value.
