A fibre-based modelling technique for the seismic analysis of steel–concrete composite shear walls

Steel–concrete composite shear wall offers a favourable lateral strength and deformation ductility for seismic applications while significantly shortening the project schedule through eliminating use of formworks taking advantage modular construction methodology. This paper presents fibre-based modelling technique simulation cyclic nonlinear response walls by existing reinforced concrete steel plate models. The improved analysis that benefits from macro models available is introduced. model validated using experimental test data 20 specimens. A sensitivity performed to examine influence various geometrical material properties proposed technique. step-by-step recommendation finally proposed. results show can efficiently be used reproduce walls.
