Out-of-plane flexural capacity of double steel plates and concrete infill composite shear walls for nuclear power engineering
Translated Abstract
Out-of-plane cyclic loading tests of six shear wall specimens were conducted to study the out-of-plane seismic behavior of double steel plates and concrete infill composite shear walls (SCW) for nuclear power engineering.Five SCW specimens and one reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall specimen were investigated.The effect of the parameters, namely, the thickness of the steel plate, the vertical load, and the strength grade of concrete, on the out-of-plane seismic performance of a double steel plates concrete infill SCW specimen were analyzed experimentally.The SCW specimens had good bearing capacity and lateral stiffness.However, the ductility of SCW specimens was worse than that of RC shear walls in the failure stage.The thickness of steel plate and the vertical load significantly influenced the out-of-plane seismic performance of SCW, but the effect of the strength grade of concrete was not obvious.The out-of-plane cyclic loading test of SCW was simulated by using the finite element software ABAQUS.Simulation results of ultimate load have good agreement with the test results.On the basis of the test and simulation results, a formula of the flexural capacity of the SCW was proposed in this paper.This research can be a reference for the design of SCW for nuclear power engineering.
