Cyclic Lateral Loading Behavior of Composite Plate Shear Walls/Concrete Filled
Planar composite plate shear walls/concrete filled (C-PSW/CF) consist of two steel web plates and two flange (or closure) plates making up a long hollow box section that is filled with concrete. The web plates are connected to each other using regularly spaced steel tie bars. Steel headed stud anchors (shear studs) may be added to reduce the steel plate slenderness for local buckling considerations in the composite phase. This paper presents the results of experimental investigations conducted to evaluate the behavior of five planar C-PSW/CF specimens subjected to constant axial compression and cyclic lateral loading. Parameters included are the axial load level, steel plate slenderness ratio, and tie reinforcement ratio. The cyclic lateral load-deflection responses of the composite wall specimens are discussed along with their lateral stiffness, strength, and deformation capacity. Experimental results indicate that the lateral load capacity of composite walls is governed by flexural yielding of the steel plates followed by plate inelastic local buckling and concrete crushing. All the wall specimens developed and exceeded the flexural capacity calculated using the plastic stress distribution method (while including the effects of axial compression). The post-peak strength degradation of wall specimens is governed by the initiation and propagation of fracture through the steel flange plates and web plates. A fiber-based model was developed and used to calculate the section moment-curvature response of the specimens. Comparing the experimental and numerical moment-curvature responses indicates that the section flexural stiffness and flexural capacity can be estimated using the fiber-based analysis method.
