Abstract

In developing India, use of post tensioning is limited to flat slab, beam & slab on ground. We are using rcc shear wall as a lateral load resisting system but till now effect of post- tensioning in shear wall is not studied. Understanding the behavior of shear wall with unbonded posttensioned tendon under lateral loading is necessary. In the past few decades, there has been significant progress in development of unbonded post tensioned precast shear wall system. However, such analysis relies on simplified methods and experimental data related to structural components, not of the complete systems. This paper presents a review of the available experimental and numerical studies on behavior of structural system with unbonded precast post tensioned shear wall, current approaches and identifies the research needs and usefulness of unbonded precast post tensioned shear wall system.
