Devine	Prefabricated High-Strength Headed Steel Reinforcement with High-Strength Concrete for Accelerated Construction of Shear Walls in Nuclear Structures	2020		.txt	text/plain	373	9	18	These experiments demonstrated that: 1) HSR and HSC perform best when combined, providing improved lateral strength and deformation capacity; 2) using HSR with HSC, a wall with significantly reduced provided reinforcement (less than half) can achieve similar peak lateral strength as a state-of-practice wall; 3) state-of-practice methods are effective for the design of reduced volumes of HSR as trim reinforcement around wall web penetrations; 4) squat rectangular walls with increased normalized base moment-to-shear ratio can be susceptible to flexure failure, contrary to current code commentaries; and 5) intersecting end walls can significantly increase the flexural stiffness and flexural strength of squat walls and should be more accurately incorporated in design. Closed-form design methods from building codes and literature were evaluated through comparisons with the experimental measurements, resulting in recommendations for accurate and conservative design calculations of lateral stiffness, diagonal-cracking strength, and peak strength of squat walls with HSC and HSR.	cache/4j03cz33p2s.txt	txt/4j03cz33p2s.txt
