Abstract:
The testing program involved a comprehensive evaluation of six large-scale traditional tilt-up solid panels and 17 Concrete Insulated Wall Panels (CIPs), along with 30 double shear tests of wythe connectors. These experiments were conducted at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with funding provided by the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) and several private manufacturing companies. The primary objective of the dataset was to investigate the flexural behavior of CIPs incorporating various types of shear connectors. The double shear tests were designed to assess the shear performance of the connectors, while the large-scale tests focused on the behavior of CIPs under combined lateral and axial loadings. The dataset includes detailed descriptions of each specimen and the corresponding outputs from the tests. This dataset is of significant value to structural engineers, building code committees, and researchers in the field, as it provides crucial insights into the performance of both insulated and traditional tilt-up wall systems. Notably, this dataset fills a gap in the available literature, as no comprehensive dataset exists for insulated walls, and limited data is available for traditional tilt-up walls. Additionally, the dataset can serve as a valuable resource for numerical modeling applications.

Posttensioned Masonry Walls
Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...
