The steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns is a new kind of composite shear wall. In order to ascertain its seismic behavior and failure mechanism, four 1/5 scale specimens with the same shear span ratio 1.5, different thickness of the steel-plate and different axial force ratio, were tested under horizontal cyclic loading. The thickness of steel-plate in the walls is 2mm, 4mm, 4mm and 6mm, respectively. Based on the experiment, the load-bearing capacity, hysteretic characteristics, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity and failure mode of the specimens were contrastively analyzed. And the effect of the ratio of height to sectional thickness of steel-plate and the value changes of axial force ratio on seismic behavior of the new shear wall was also analyzed. The result shows that the steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular CFST columns has good seismic performance and important engineering value.

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.

The shear wall with concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns and steel plate is a new kind of composite shear wall. In order to know its seismic performance and failure mechanism, six 1/5 scale specimens with the same shear span ratio 1.5, including 3 steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with CFT columns and 3 reinforced concrete shear walls (RCSWs) with CFT columns and embedded steel plate, were tested under cyclic loading. The thickness of the steel plates in the shear walls changed from 2mm, 4mm to 6mm. Based on the experiment, the load-carrying capacity, hysteresis characteristics, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and damage characteristics of the specimens were analyzed. Especially, the ratio of height to sectional thickness of the steel plates in the shear wall was considered. The result shows that both the SPSW with CFT columns and the RCSW with CFT columns and embedded steel plate have good seismic performance and are with important practical engineering value.

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.

In order to study the seismic performance of low shear-span ratio composite shear wall with steel plate reinforced concrete,three low shear-span ratio composite shear walls with steel plate reinforced concrete were tested.The deformation performance and failure modes were observed under low cyclic lateral loads with high axial compression ratio.Valuable results were obtained for the hysteretic curves,skeleton curves,ductility and energy dissipation capacity.The results indicate that the elastic stage, Specimen stiffness value is larger, and the stiffness change is basically the same; The specimen into the elastic-plastic stage, cracks have appeared in basic beam and early damage. The junction of steel concrete structure and reinforced concrete structure are prone to failure, which should improve the reinforced concrete shear stiffness in the design.
