Cyclic Behavior of T-Shaped Composite Plate Shear Walls–Concrete Filled
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 149, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper presents findings from experiments conducted on four large-scale T-shaped concrete filled composite plate shear walls (C-PSW/CF) specimens subjected to axial force and flexure. A C-PSW/CF is a sandwich type of construction by which concrete (without rebars) is enclosed between steel plates connected by tie bars. One of the walls was subjected to a cyclic wind loading protocol and the other walls were cycled with a seismic loading protocol. Their dimensions were identical, but different axial loads (up to 30% of the crushing load of the infill concrete, ) were applied. The plastic hinge development was investigated along with the composite behavior and compared with the calculated plastic moment of the corresponding cross section. These tests along with the results on C-shaped wall tests were conducted to establish the development of design guidelines for high-rise core-wall steel buildings having C-PSW/CF as the primary lateral force resisting system.
