Cold formed steel shear panel is one of the main components to bearing lateral load in low and mid-rise cold formed steel structures. This paper uses finite element analysis to evaluate the stiffness, strength and failure mode at cold formed steel shear panels whit steel sheathing and nonlinear connections that are under monotonic loading. Two finite element models based on two experimental model whit different failure modes is constructed and verified. It includes analytical studies that investigate the effects of studs and steel sheathing thickness changes, fasteners spacing at panel edges, one or two sides steel sheathing and height-width ratio of wall on the lateral load capacity. Dominant failure modes include buckling of steel sheet, local buckling in boundary studs and sheet unzipping in the bottom half of the wall.

본 연구의 목적은 서고보드로 둘러 싸여진 냉간성형강재 벽체패널의 실험에 근거한 한계높이를 산정하는 것이다. 이 패널은 내장 비내력벽으로서 등분포하중이 측면으로 작용된다고 가정한다. 한계높이는 처짐공식 뿐만 아니라 휨, 전단, 그리고 복부판 압착을 고려한 강도에도 기초하여 산정한다. 3가지 처짐제한(L/360, L/240, L/120)에 대한 한계높이는 전형적인 설계압력 범위에 걸쳐 산정된다(여기서 L은 벽체의 높이임).

Using light weight concrete as infill material in conventional cold-formed steel (CFS) shear wall systems can considerably increase their load bearing capacity, ductility, integrity and fire resistance. The compressive strength of the filler concrete is a key factor affecting the structural behaviour of the composite wall systems, and therefore, achieving maximum compressive strength in lightweight concrete while maintaining its lightweight properties is of significant importance. In this study a new type of optimum polystyrene lightweight concrete (OPLC) with high compressive strength is developed for infill material in composite CFS shear wall systems. To study the seismic behaviour of the OPLC-filled CFS shear wall systems, two full scale wall specimens are tested under cyclic loading condition. The effects of OPLC on load-bearing capacity, failure mode, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and stiffness degradation of the walls are investigated. It is shown that the use of OPLC as infill in CFS shear walls can considerably improve their seismic performance by: (i) preventing the premature buckling of the stud members, and (ii) changing the dominant failure mode from brittle to ductile thanks to the bond-slip behaviour between OPLC and CFS studs. It is also shown that the design equations proposed by EC8 and ACI 318-14 standards overestimate the shear force capacity of OPLC-filled CFS shear wall systems by up to 80%. This shows it is necessary to propose methods with higher efficiency to predict the capacity of these systems for practical applications.

본 연구의 대상은 석고보드와 냉간성형강 스터드로 구성된 벽체용 합성패널이다. 양면의 석고보드 사이에 위치한 스터드는 나사로 연결되어 있고, 이와 같은 연결부의 부분합성거동을 정량화하여 나사접합부의 단위미끄럼을 유발하는 단위길이 당 전단하중($S_{slip}$)을 산정하는 것이 목적이었다. 실험방법은 1962 AISI규준을 기초로 하여 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 산정한 $S_{slip}$값을 이용한 이론적 추정치와 기 발표된 공칭축강도의 실험값과의 비교에서 만족할 만한 결과를 도출하였다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 연구범위와 유사한 냉간성형강 부재의 해석과 설계에 있어 구조 기술자에게 가치가 있는 정보를 제공할 것이다.

Loading protocols have been developed for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures and components. However, it is uncertain if protocols developed for conditions of intense ground shaking in regions of high seismicity would also be applicable to regions of low-moderate seismicity that are remote from the tectonic plate boundaries. This study presents a methodology for developing a quasi-static cyclic displacement loading protocol for experimental bracing evaluation of cold-formed steel stud shear walls. Simulations presented in the paper were based on conditions of moderate ground shaking (in Australia). The methodologies presented are generic in nature and can be applied to other regions of similar seismicity conditions (which include many parts of China, Korea, India and Malaysia). Numerous response time histories including both linear and nonlinear analyses have been generated for selected earthquake scenarios and site classes. Rain-flow cycle counting method has been used for determining the number of cycles at various ranges of normalized displacement amplitude. It is found that the number of displacement cycles of the loading protocol increases with increasing intensity of ground shaking (associated with a longer return period).
