Numerical Investigation of Double-Skin Cold-Formed Steel Shear Wall Filled with Concrete
Steel and composite shear wall systems are used for vertical stabilisation of buildings and have been widely investigated in recent decades. Such systems provide excellent shear strength and ductility while allowing material savings due to optimal material usage and an increase in construction speed. A double-skin cold-formed steel shear wall filled with concrete is an innovative composite shear wall that is composed of cold-formed corrugated steel sheets and intermediate fasteners filled with concrete which is in turn bounded by a steel frame. Steel sheets are connected onto a concrete core with the help of intermediate fasteners behaving as shear connectors forming a sandwich Steel–Concrete–Steel panel. Compared to reinforced concrete shear walls, this type of wall has enhanced strength and ductility due to steel confinement while allowing for a reduction in construction time. The numerical simulation of double-skin cold-formed steel shear walls filled with concrete has been studied in this paper. The numerical parametric simulations are conducted in ABAQUS/CAE, where the influence of steel sheet thicknesses, concrete strength and the arrangement and diameter of the shear connectors were analysed. The wall shear capacities for all parameters were compared and the results provide suggestions for future investigations.
