- Abstract
This paper describes the experimental testing of a reinforced concrete tessellated shear wall. The wall specimen was tested as part of a National Science Foundation-funded research project designed to demonstrate the concept of tessellated structural-architectural (TeSA) systems. TeSA systems are constructed of topologically interlocking tiles arranged in tessellations, or repeating geometric patterns. As such, these systems are designed with easy repair and reuse in mind. The specimen discussed in this paper is a TeSA shear wall constructed from individually precast I-shaped tiles. This paper presents the results of reverse cyclic loading of the specimen, including load-displacement behavior, crack propagation, and energy dissipation. A simplified analytical model for predicting the wall's flexural capacity is also discussed.
