Analysis of the Stiffness Ratio at the Interim Layer of Frame-Supported Multi-Ribbed Lightweight Walls under Low-Reversed Cyclic Loading

摘要

By conducting low-reversed cyclic loading tests, this paper explores the load-bearing performance of frame-supported multi-ribbed lightweight wall structures. The finite-element software (OpenSees) is used to simulate the process with the shear wall width (at the frame-supported layer) and different hole opening approaches (for multi-ribbed lightweight walls) as variables. The conclusions reflect the influence of the stiffness ratio at the interim layer on the load-bearing performance of the structure. On this basis, the paper identifies the preferable numerical range for engineering design, which provides a solid foundation for the theoretical advancement of the structures in this study.
