COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR STEEL-PLATE SHEAR WALL BASED ON THE NODE CONNECTION CHARACTERISTICS
Based on the study of a new semi-rigid composite frame with a steel-plate shear wall system,the structural bearing capacity of different wall forms,the stress and deformation development history are analyze using ANSYS program,and the effects on the bearing capacity of a hinged connection,a rigid connection and a semi-rigid connection are compared.The results show that the yield limitation of the frame is increased about 20%,and the ultimate bearing capacity is increased about 10% after setting stiffeners.For a bending-frame steel-plate shear-wall structure,the beam and the column are combined through the rigid connection with wall to form a double lateral force resisting system,and the ultimate bearing capacity of a rigid node is increased about 15% than that of a hinged one.There is about 5% difference for the ultimate bearing capacity between a semi rigid node and a hinged one,which is only a single lateral force resisting system.The research provides a basis for the new structural system and its theoretical analysis.
