EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM
Objectives• Investigate beam M- behavior• Verify analytical model• Verify design tools and procedures
• Beam-wall connection subassemblages
• Ten half-scale tests

CONCLUSIONS
• Unbonded post-tensioning is a feasible construction method for reinforced concrete walls in seismic regions
• Large self-centering capability• Softening, thus, period elongation• Small inelastic energy dissipation• Need supplemental energy dissipation in high seismic regions
