The walls were designed and detailed according to the seismic provisions of the NBCC 2005 and CSA-A23.3-04 standards. The objectives were to validate and understand the inelastic responses and interaction of shear and flexure and axial loads in the plastic hinge zones of the walls taking into consideration the higher-mode effects. One specimen was tested under incremental ground motion intensities ranging from 40 to 120% of the design level. The intensity range was increased from 100 to 200% for the second specimen. The response of the walls was significantly affected by the second mode, causing an inelastic flexural response to develop at the base as well as at the sixth level. Dynamic amplification of the base shear forces was also observed in both walls. In the second wall, which was tested in the undamaged condition, peak base shear forces occurred prior to significant inelastic rotation and the contribution to concrete of shear resistance exceeded the value used in the design. Once inelastic rotation had developed that contribution corresponded to the value obtained using a value of 0.18 for the reduction factor accounting for concrete cracking. Inelastic rotation in the upper wall region was found to limit the force demand imposed by the higher-mode response.
