Pseudo Static Cyclic Lateral Loading of two Unbonded Post-Tensioned Precast Rocking Walls

The concrete strain at the rocking corners of the unbonded post-tensioned precast rocking walls, under lateral loading, was under investigation. The specimens were tested using pseudo-static lateral loading protocol. The measured data was used to validate and improve upon plastic hinge length equation for such walls. The data can be used to develop numerical models and further study on the subject matter.
