A Simplified Finite Element Model for Modular Steel Structure Building Wallboard through Experimental Research and Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

The traditional research on steel plate shear wall structure mainly focuses on the overall performance of the wall, and the mechanical properties of the connection between plates and plates and between plates and frames are not clear. In this paper, the experimental research on the wallboard structure of bending plate was carried out and the mechanical properties and failure modes of five walls were analyzed. In addition, the connection properties between plates and frames were studied by finite element analysis. A simplified finite element model is presented by experimental study and finite element analysis. The results show that the finite element analysis results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The finite element model with the two-point binding constraint between the end of the bending plate and the angle steel can well simulate the mechanical properties of the steel plate shear wall structure.
