Concrete shear wall destructive testing Client Californian Transport Authority Project OFS Instrumentation of concrete shearwall during simulated tra?c loading to destruction Resolution A large scale test of a concrete shear wall section was carried out in the UCI Department of Civil and Structural Engineering. SmartPatch sensors were applied to provide some additional information on the performance of the shear section of the wall. Locations were identi?ed by Caltrans and UCI engineers, with one patch on each side of the wall at +45° and -45°. These patches were positioned in the centre of the shear section of the concrete panel.Example of data acquired by Smart Fibre’ OFSSS I. Full data withheld. Surface preparation involved grinding of the bonding area to ensure a ?at surface and
