Mega steel braced frame-composite steel plate shear wall structure, consisting of mega steel braced frame as outer frame and composite steel plate shear walls as core wall, is a new type of hybrid structure that is proposed in this study. Seismic performance of this new structure was analyzed under frequent earthquake and severe earthquake. The analysis focused mainly on displacement response, seismic base shear distribution and failure mechanism. Comparing with traditional steel frame-RC core wall structure, this new type of hybrid structure presents better coorporative working performance since mega steel braced frame provides larger stiffness and composite steel plate shear wall provides a fairly ductile response. It can be observed from the failure mechanism that this structure has multiple seismic resistant systems with composite steel plate shear wall, mega braces and mega frame when subjected to severe earthquakes.

In order to discuss the effect of different concrete strength on the seismic behavior of the L-shape steel reinforced concrete (SRC) short-pier shear wall , this article analyze three L-shape steel reinforced concrete short-pier shear walls of different concrete strength with the numerical simulation software ABAQUS, revealing the effects of concrete strength on the walls seismic behavior. The results of the study show that the concrete strength obviously influence the seismic performance. With the concrete strength grade rise, the bearing capacity of the shear wall becomes large, the ductility becomes low, the pinch shrinkage effect of the hysteresis loop becomes more obvious.

Four test pieces with different steel plate center-to-center distances and reinforcement ratios are subjected to low-cycle repeat quasistatic loading to optimize properties as failure mode, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation parameters, strength parameters, and seismic performance of high-strength concrete low-rise shear walls. The embedded steel plates are shown to effectively restrict wall crack propagation, enhance the overall steel ratio, and improve the failure mode of the wall while reducing the degree of brittle failure. Under the same conditions, increasing the spacing between the steel plates in the steel plate concrete shear wall can effectively preserve the horizontal bearing capacity of the shear wall under an ultimate load. The embedded steel plates perform better than concealed bracing in delaying stiffness degeneration in the low-rise shear walls, thus safeguarding their long-term bearing capacity. The results presented here may provide a workable basis for shear wall design optimization.

This article investigates the shear strength of steel plate reinforced concrete shear wall under cyclic loads. A nonlinear three-dimensional finite element model in ABAQUS was developed and validated against published experimental results. Then, a parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the parameters on the lateral capacity of composite shear wall, including shear span ratio, concrete strength, axial load ratio, steel plate ratio and transverse reinforcement ratio of the web. Furthermore, a modified formula of shear strength of composite shear wall was proposed. Regression analyses were used to obtain the contribution coefficients of different parts from 720 finite element models. Finally, the shear strengths of specimens from published tests were compared with design strengths calculated using the proposed formula, American Institute of Steel Construction Provisions and Chinese Code. It was found that the Chinese Code well predicts the shear strength of composite shear wall of a steel plate ratio of less than 5%, while unsafely predicting that of a higher steel plate ratio. The American Institute of Steel Construction Provisions predictions are quite conservative because the contribution of the reinforced concrete is neglected. The modified formula safely predicts the shear strength of composite shear wall.
