Modelling of Cyclic Load Behaviour of Smart Composite Steel-Concrete Shear Wall Using Finite Element Analysis

In recent years, steel-concrete composite shear walls have been widely used in enormous high-rise buildings. Due to their high strength and ductility, enhanced stiffness, stable cycle characteristics large energy absorption, such can be adopted auxiliary buildings, surrounding the reactor containment structure of nuclear power plants resist lateral forces induced by heavy winds severe earthquakes. The current study aims investigate seismic behaviour evaluate performance comparison with traditional reinforced concrete (RC) when subjected cyclic loading. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed using ANSYS emphasising constitutive material modelling type represent real physical complex wall structures. analysis escalates parametric variation reinforcement ratio, compressive wall, layout stud yield stress infill steel plate. details structural components, contact conditions between concrete, associated boundary relationships for loading are explained. findings this showed that an up 3.5% increase ratio ductility absorption a 37% 38%, respectively. Moreover, increasing 55 MPa ratios 51% Thus, improves contribution strength, while plate (to 380 MPa) (by 66%) compared reference model. present numerical research shows significantly affect absorption. offers possibility improving wall’s capacity, which more important.
