Behaviour of PVC encased reinforced concrete walls under eccentric axial loading

Recently, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been used as a stay-in-place (SIP) formwork because of its lower cost compared to other materials, durability, and ease to assemble. The PVC SIP formwork used here consists of interconnected elements; panels and connectors that serve as permanent formwork for the concrete walls. In this paper, the behaviour of the PVC encased reinforced concrete walls tested under eccentric compression loading was...
