This study analytically reviewed the behavior of Steel Plate Concrete(SC) walls subjected to combined loads of axial force, flexural moment, and shear force to investigate the effects of shape and arrangement spacing of studs on the behavior of SC walls. To perform it, 9 cases of finite element analyses considering the different shape and spacing of studs in SC wall were carried out. The results showed that, for SC walls combined steel plate and concrete according to the Design Code, the compressive strength is higher than the tensile strength. Compared results from the finite element analyses of SC walls subjected to combined loads with Design Code showed that all cases were higher than the design strength. For KEPIC SNG, the moment and shear force were not influenced by the axial force of 0.1 to 0.2 times axial strength, however, from the analyses, it was found that the values were decreased as the axial force is increased.

The domestic research of the steel plate concrete structures have been focused on the nuclear structures requiring much strong resistance. There are many advantages in the steel plate-concrete structures such as the possibility of prefabricated production and modular construction. This research tried to establish some basic design information of SC structures toward mid to low-rise general buildings with low strength. To reduce the strength mentioned, the some of the cement in weight was replaced by the soils which are traditional and environmental oriented material where the new system can be used to general buildings. This paper studied on the compressive characteristics, effective length factors, buckling loading, steel plate buckling, and stud strength using the compression member subjected to the concentrated compression loadings.

The primary object of the paper is to understand the compressive buckling characteristics of steel-concrete structures through the finite element analysis. The buckling pattern, compressive strength and stiffness of the steel plate concrete structures were investigated by the FEM analysis using the variations of B/t ratios and stud pitches. The investigation was focused on steel plate concrete structures with and without ribs placed on the surface of steel plates. The results of the FEM analysis were compared with the previous results from the theoretical equations. Conclusively, the buckling of the steel plate concrete structures occurred in the transverse direction of the loading direction. The stiffness of the steel plate concrete structure with ribs is greater than the one without the stiffened rib. The compressive strength in the FEM analysis is similar to that of JEAG 4681 and it showed 20% greater value than that of the proposed equations.

This paper presents the test and evaluation results on the shear strength and stiffness of a light steel stud wall from a lightweight foamed mortar (lightweight hybrid wall). The use of a lightweight foamed mortar was aimed at improving structural performance, thermal performance, and finish. Studiesshowed that it did not affect thermal performance, but it contributed to structural performance and finish when the unit weight was more than 0.8 (Editor's note: Please indicate the unit of measurement.). In this study, 14 specimens-whose parameters included the specific gravity of the lightweight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the spacing of the stud (450 mm, 600 mm, or 900 mm), finishing materials (such as lightweight foamed mortar, OSB, and gypsum board), and bracing-were manufactured. Three typical, steel house-framing specimens were added to compare the test results with the 14 specimens. The results of in-plane shear tests show that the use of lightweight foamed mortar (1.15~5.38 times stronger, 1.45~13.7 times stiffer) results in ultimate strength and initial stiffness. In addition, it was possible to widen the stud spacing to up to 900 mm without decreasing shear strength. It was very important to prevent the lightweight foamed mortar from shrinking and to secure the adhesion between the steel stud and the lightweight foamed mortar to improve structural performance.
