instrumentation data logging and DIC on the post-peak behaviour

of walls with a short shear span. The tests were stopped when the
specimens experienced an abrupt reduction in the axial force in the
vertical direction and showed extremely low resistance to axial
load thereafter in further drifts,

cycles because one

strand of one of the prestressing cables used to apply axial load
was damaged during testing. The axial stress was maintained constant
throughout the duration of each test. Cyclic lateral displacements
were applied to the walls by a hydraulic actuator mounted
horizontally to a reaction wall 4.88 m above the wall. Out-of-plane
support was provided to prevent twisting of the wall specimen
values are in general smaller than that of damaged
buildings. Wall thicknesses vary from 17 to 23 cm, and have
a mean value of 21 cm, which is larger than the average value for
damaged buildings (_20 cm). Wall densities ql and qt for undamaged
buildings are very similar to those of damaged buildings, with
mean values of 2.7% and 2.6% in the longitudinal
Dynamic characteristics, wall-related parameters, and irregularity
indices for undamaged buildings are shown in Table 3. It is
apparent that the selected undamaged buildings are in general
more flexible than the damaged ones; the average period is 1.45
s, which is about twice the mean of 0.77 s for damaged buildings.
The height to period parameter h/T ranges from 28 to 54 m/s,
which means that the structures can be classified as normal to flexible
[7]; their h/T values are in general smaller than that of damaged
buildings. Wall thicknesses vary from 17 to 23 cm, and have
a mean value of 21 cm, which is larger than the average value for
damaged buildings (_20 cm). Wall densities ql and qt for undamaged
buildings are very similar to those of damaged buildings, with
mean values of 2.7% and 2.6% in the longitudinal and transversal
directions, respectively. These values are also similar to the
average of 2.8% of Chilean buildings [23,24]. Additionally, the wall
density per weight (DNP parameter) in the first story has mean values
of 0.17 and 0.16 _ 10_3 m2/kN in the longitudinal and transversal
directions, respectively. These values are smaller than the
0.21 and 0.23 _ 10_3 m2/kN of damaged buildings, which was
