Nonlinear Finite Element Simulation of Steel Frames-Composite Steel Shear Wall

摘要

The prefabricated concrete walls are used to cover on both sides of steel shear wall to avoid the buckling of steel plates, which leads to the composite steel shear wall system. In order to carry out the nonlinear FEM analysis on the composite steel shear wall, the procedure of establishing the FEM model was illustrated in details, in which the nonlinear and contact behavior were considered. The computed results were in good match with test data, which indicating the simulation method is feasible. It would accurately reflect the mechanical behavior of the structure by use of surface-to-surface smooth hard contact properties to simulate the contact between the steel plate and concrete cover plates.
