Abstract

In this paper the numerical simulation on steel plate shear wall (SPSW) and steel-concrete composite shear wall (SCSW) with two-side connection was carried out by the finite element software ANSYS. Performances of the two shear walls were investigated. Different mechanical behaviors between SPSW and SCSW with two-side connection were discussed in details. It is found that the depth-thickness ratio λ is a key parameter that influences the shear resistance behavior of SPSW with two-side connection. The concrete plate which completely restricts the out-of-plate displacement may be thin if the depth-thickness ratio of a wall is large enough. Due to the concrete plate supporting, stress distributions in the SCSW are changed obviously: the horizontal load transferring manners are changed from tension strip to cross-sectional shear in the steel plates.
