Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis on Seismic Performance of Steel Corrugated Shear Wall

摘要

In order to study the seismic behavior of corrugated steel shear wall, a three dimensional nonlinear FEM of steel corrugated shear wall was established by use of ABQUS software. Based on that, the bearing capacity of the corrugated steel shear wall under the monotonic loads and its hysteretic behavior under the cyclic loads were analyzed. The results indicate that the corrugated steel shear wall could decrease storey drift and improve lateral bearing capacity and stiffness of steel frames dramatically; the corrugated steel shear wall has better seismic performance than steel plate shear wall.
