Steel Plate Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls

The reinforced concrete filled composite plate shear walls cpsw system employs two steel plates with infilled reinforced concrete.

Steel plate reinforced concrete shear walls.

D minimum steel yield strength shall not be less than 300 mpa 40 ksi. C reinforcing steel bars shall conform to clause 7 of csa a23 1 and csa g30 18. Hanced steel plate reinforced concrete shear wall s j. In the united states a.

The steel plate wall acts as the web of the vertical plate girder and the column acts as the flanges of the vertical plate girder. After the reinforced foundation finished the shear wall anker bolts should be installed into the foundation reinforcement before pouring concrete. In the aisc seismic provisions aisc 1997 these systems are denoted as composite steel plate shear walls c spw. The design of rc shear walls with high lateral load capacity necessitates the formation of shear wall boundary zones with narrow cross section and intensive steel reinforcement because of the requirement for light weight walls to reduce seismic force and the architectural goal.

Shear wall analysis and design spwall software spwall is a program for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete shear walls tilt up walls precast wall and insulate concrete form icf walls. Reinforced concrete rc shear walls are used in high rise structures that can potentially be impacted by earthquakes. A nonlinear 3 d finite element model in. A design of reinforced concrete shall be in accordance with csa a23 3.

119 2016 176 189. Astaneh asl 1998 2001 carried out a series of low frequency cyclic loading test on composite shear walls which consisted of a steel plate shear. B reinforcing steel placement shall conform to csa a23 1 csa a23 4 and or the local building code having jurisdiction. From a designer s point of view steel plate walls have become a very attractive alternative to other steel systems or to replace reinforced concrete elevator cores and shear wall.

Based on an experimental study of four flexural critical cpsw specimens under high axial compression ratio ranging from 0 313 to 0 542 and reciprocal lateral load the seismic performance of shear studs connected cpsw systems with orthogonal reinforcement in wall. In comparative studies it has been shown that the overall costs of a building can be reduced significantly when considering the following advantages. Graphical user interface is provided for. Steel plate reinforced concrete sprc shear wall consists of steel plate encased in the concrete in which the material advantages of both concrete and steel are utilized.

It uses a graphical interface that enables the user to easily generate complex wall models. Composite steel plate shear walls were first put into practice in a frame shear wall dual system of the bus station complex in nagoya japan in the early 1960s. This paper investigates the deformation capacity of the sprc shear wall under cyclic loads.
