Popis: Collapse modes of reinforced concrete (RC) wallboards directly affect the living space and time for people to escape during the damage of a RC shear wall structure under strong earthquake action. In order to present and summarize all the possible collapse modes of RC wallboards based on the existing theoretical studies related to seismic collapse of RC wallboards, six corresponding indoor RC wallboard model structures were designed on a scale of 1:4, and constructed. Besides, these structures were subject to a full-process low-cycle horizontal load test, with the aim of verifying the theoretical collapse modes and elaborating on the collapse process with its final failure form of every test model. The experimental results are fairly consistent with the findings of relevant theoretical studies and also enrich the collapse mechanism of RC wallboards, thus providing valuable reference for the anti-collapse design.
