The composite shear wall is the core component of the thermal insulation integrated structure, which is a load-bearing shear wall with good thermal insulation, sound insulation, and seismic resistance. To improve the applicable height of the composite shear wall structure, a cohesive sandwich heat-insulation composite shear wall with door frame inclined tendon and diamond-shaped inclined tendon is proposed, and the quasistatic force of four 1/2-scale shear wall test specimens is carried out. Different specimens are analyzed, including failure modes, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, ductility performance, and energy dissipation capacity. The following conclusions are drawn: the failure modes of the specimens are bending and shear failure; the ultimate strength and deformation performance of the composite wall close to the solid wall; the composite wall with the door frame inclined tendon can effectively delay the wall cracking and improve the bearing capacity and energy consumption capacity of the composite wall; the configuration of the diamond-shaped inclined tendon improves the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the composite wall.

Steel-Concrete composite shear wall has become popular recently as it compensates for the disadvantages of concrete and steel plate shear walls and combine the advantage of both. However, there is no detail study that identifies the most critical parameters. This study aims at investigation of steel plate-concrete composite shear wall behavior under cyclic loading with variables such as concrete strength, grade of steel plate, total number of tie constraints and thickness of steel plate. ABAQUS/Standard is used for numerical modeling in this study. As the concrete strength decreases from 86.1Mpa to 45Mpa, the load capacity declined by 11.76% and higher stiffness was recorded in specimen with higher grade of concrete. The ductility factor is inversely proportional to grade of concrete from 86.1Mpa to 60Mpa which increases from 4.26 to 4.68 and the ductility factor of specimen with 45Mpa strength is recorded as 3.81. The energy dissipation capacity is directly proportional to the grade of concrete used. Using high grade steel plate increases the lateral load capacity significantly and exhibited more ductile behavior. Specimen with S355 steel grade exhibited 14.01% increment of the average load capacity while the specimen with S245 steel grade has shown reduction by 9.21%. Similarly, the ductility factor and energy dissipation capacity of specimen with variable grade of steel are directly proportional. Reduction of tie constraints has no significant effect on the behavior in this study due to high confinement effect of concrete by surrounding steel plate. Specimens with thicker steel plate exhibited good energy dissipation capacity.

To study the seismic behavior of Double-Wall Precast Concrete (DWPC) shear wall, three full scale specimens are tested and compared under low-cyclic reversed loading, including two DWPC shear walls and one normal Cast-In-Situ (CIS) shear wall. By observing their experimental phenomena and failure modes, contrasting their displacement ductility coefficients, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves and energy dissipation capacity, the seismic behavior were synthetically evaluated on aspects of strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. Compared with CIS specimen, DWPC specimens have higher initial stiffness, increased cracking loads by 43% to 47%, and the ultimate loads increased by 22% to 23%. The displacement ductility ratios also meet the ductility requirements with value of 5. The hysteretic curves of three specimens are plump, and the trend of skeleton curves is basically the same. The DWPC specimens demonstrated a good energy dissipation capacity. All the specimens had shown favorable seismic performance.

A new type of composite shear wall with insulation function is proposed, the inner layer of which is made of cement-base composite formworks produced by our research group in advance, and the outer layer of which is made of insulation formwork superposed with the cement formwork and insulation material. The space between the inner and the outer formwork is filled with concrete. Through the test of static loading in vertical and horizontal ways, bearing capacity, deformation properties, and failure modes of the composite shear wall, and cooperative work performance of the insulated formwork and concrete are studied. The static working performance of the composite shear wall with insulation is compared with that of the composite shear wall without insulation and the traditional shear wall, and some suggestions are put forward. The research results have proved that the sandwich-type composite shear wall with insulation is well-performed, which plays an important role in the future study and application.

Based on the research of composite walls at home and abroad, a construction method of continuous opening of the insulation layer in the specimen is proposed. In the edge component of the composite wall, the insulation layer should be thinned appropriately, the concrete on both sides should be thickened correspondingly, and U-shaped reinforcement should be used instead of stirrup. To study its axial compression test performance, five 1/2 scale composite shear wall specimens are tested under axial compression, including three composite wall specimens and two solid wall contrast specimens. The failure mode, load-bearing performance, deformation performance, and the collaborative work performance of wall are analyzed. The results show that the failure characteristics of the composite shear wall are similar to those of the solid wall, with splitting cracks at the corners and inverted triangular conical splitting at the top of the wall along the wall height direction, with no obvious bulging in the middle of the wall. The tie action of the ribs makes the concrete walls on both sides of the composite shear wall have good integrity and cooperative performance; the installation of the thermal insulation layer increases the overall thickness of the wall, improves the stability of the composite wall, and makes the composite wall axially compressed. The bearing capacity is not significantly reduced compared to the solid walls. Finally, according to the test results, the calculation formula of axial compression bearing capacity of composite shear wall is given, which provides the basis for the formulation of the code and engineering application.

This research investigated the behaviour of a new form of composite shear wall system consisting of two skins of profiled steel sheeting and an infill of concrete under in-plane monotonic, cyclic and impact loading. The extensive experimental, analytical and numerical investigations of composite shear walls provided information on strength, stiffness, load-deformation response, steel sheet-concrete interaction, stress-strain characteristics and failure modes.Eight composite wall specimens with overall dimensions of 1626 mm (height) x 720 mm (width) were tested under monotonic, cyclic and impact loading. Steel sheet-concrete connections were provided by intermediate fasteners to generate composite action. Two types of steel sheets classified based on strength as mild and high strength and also, two types of concrete-infill namely Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) and Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) were used to construct the walls. An analytical model for shear resistance of the composite wall was developed based on existing models taking into account the shear capacity of the steel sheets, concrete core and steel-concrete interaction. Moreover, two non-linear finite element models for the composite wall under monotonic/cyclic and impact loading were developed using proprietary ABAQUS/CAE software. The performance of developed numerical models was validated against experimental results and then the models were utilized to carry out an extensive parametric study to understand the influence of material and steel-concrete interaction on the structural behaviour of the walls.

To improve the seismic behavior of shear walls, a new composite shear wall composed of a steel-fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHC) web and two square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, namely a steel-fiber-reinforced concrete shear wall with CFST columns, is proposed in this paper. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental investigation of the seismic behavior of the SFRHC shear wall with CFST columns. Pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven composite shear walls, and the seismic performance of the shear walls was studied and quantified in terms of the aspects of energy consumption, ductility and stiffness degradation. Furthermore, the experimental results indicated that adding steel fiber can effectively restrain the crack propagation of composite shear walls and further help to improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of composite shear walls and delay the degradation of their lateral stiffness and force. Moreover, the seismic behavior of the SFRHC shear wall with CFST columns was obviously superior to that of the conventionally reinforced shear wall, in terms of load-bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity, because of the confinement effect of the CFST columns on the web. Finally, the preliminary study demonstrated that the composite shear wall has good potential to be used in regions with high seismic risk.

To develop the cold-formed steel (CFS) building from low-rise to mid-rise, this paper proposes a new type of CFS composite shear wall building system. The continuous placed CFS concrete-filled tube (CFRST) column is used as the end stud, and the CFS-ALC wall casing concrete composite floor is used as the floor system. In order to predict the seismic behavior of this new structural system, a simplified analytical model is proposed in this paper, which includes the following. (1) A build-up section with “new material” is used to model the CFS tube and infilled concrete of CFRST columns; the section parameters are determined by the equivalent stiffness principle, and the “new material” is modeled by an elastic-perfect plastic model. (2) Two crossed nonlinear springs with hysteretic parameters are used to model a composite CFS shear wall; the Pinching04 material is used to input the hysteretic parameters for these springs, and two crossed rigid trusses are used to model the CFS beams. (3) A linear spring is used to model the uplift behavior of a hold-down connection, and the contribution of these connections for CFRST columns are considered and individually modeled. (4) The rigid diaphragm is used to model the composite floor system, and it is demonstrated by example analyses. Finally, a shaking table test is conducted on a five-story 1:2-scaled CFS composite shear wall building to valid the simplified model. The results are as follows. The errors on peak drift of the first story, the energy dissipation of the first story, the peak drift of the roof story, and the energy dissipation of the whole structure’s displacement time–history curves between the test and simplified models are about 10%, and the largest one of these errors is 20.8%. Both the time–history drift curves and cumulative energy curves obtained from the simplified model accurately track the deformation and energy dissipation processes of the test model. Such comparisons demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the simplified model, and the proposed simplified model would provide the basis for the theoretical analysis and seismic design of CFS composite shear wall systems.
