Abstract
This study experimentally and numerically investigated the lateral resistance of cold-formed corrugated steel plates with lightweight foam concrete composite walls (CPLWs). The horizontal reversed cyclic loading tests were performed on a total of five walls, two CPLWs and three without concrete composite walls (CPWs). The influence of corrugated steel plate orientation, lightweight foam concrete, and connection type on the lateral resistance of the walls was investigated in terms of hysteresis curves, skeleton curves and characteristic values, stiffness degradation, cyclic bearing capacity degradation, and energy dissipation capacity. The results indicate that incorporating lightweight foam concrete enhanced the lateral resistance of the walls significantly. Vertical corrugated steel plates CPLWs exhibited superior lateral resistance than horizontal ones. Flange bolts could not increase the shear capacity or stiffness of the composite walls. Furthermore, after being developed and validated based on the experimental results, 38 finite element analysis (FEA) models were used in parametric studies to analyze the impact of parameters including the thickness of the frame and corrugated steel plates, lightweight foam concrete strength, and the perforation diameter of the corrugated steel plates on the lateral resistance of CPLWs. Overall, a new shear capacity formula was proposed by integrating the underlying mechanism of the walls with findings from both experimental tests and finite element models parametric analyses.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
