本研究根據過去試驗結果(Cheng 等學者,2021)，以已測試之試體CCC_0.5H為基礎，規劃並測試另外三組剪力牆跨深比皆為0.5(hw/lw=0.5)，在相似的剪應力需求(Vmpr)，即試體於牆底發展可能彎矩強度 所對應的正規剪應力值約為10√fc'(psi)(0.83√fc'(Mpa))，設計不同特殊邊界構材、插接筋量及圍束鋼板之剪力牆試體，目的欲探討低矮剪力牆於往復載重行為之影響。
根據實驗結果所得之結論顯示，不使用插接筋能提升牆體的變形能力；與傳統鋼筋混凝土牆相比，特殊邊界構材對於介面滑移主控破壞之牆體的強度與變形能力影響有限；圍束鋼板能使牆體增加極限剪力強度及極限變形能力。
此外，觀察試體剪力滑移破壞結果，提出一個想法來計算剪力滑移強度，並搜集過去10座滑移破壞的低矮剪力牆，就本資料庫而言，新計算方式比現行規範ACI318-19有更好的評估結果。

According to specimen CCC_0.5H (Cheng, et al.,2021) was test in the past. An experimental program consisting of three specimens were conducted to evaluate effects of different arrangements on cyclic responses of reinforced concrete (RC) squat wall with a shear aspect ratio,hw/lw, of 0.5. All test specimens are designed to have similar shear sress demand associated with the development of probable flexural strength approaching 10√fc'(psi) (0.83√fc'(Mpa)).
Test results show that specimen without dowel reinforcement can increased the deformation capacity. The influence of special boundary elements on the strength and deformation capacity of the walls controlled by interface sliding is limited. The confinement of steel plates can increase both of the shear strength and ultimate deformation capacity of the wall.
Furthermore, by observing the shear sliding failure of the specimens, an idea is proposed to calculate the shear sliding strength. By collecting data from ten sqaut shear walls that experienced sliding failure, the newly proposed calculation method provides a better assessment result compared to the current ACI 318-19 code, at least for this database.
