Four-story coupling steel plate shear wall under cyclic loading in the Abaqus

Four-story coupling steel plate shear wall under cyclic loading in the Abaqus

In this example we intend to simulate the 4-story coupling steel plate shear wall under cyclic loading in the Abaqus software

As you observe in the picture, this Model is composed of plate, coupling beam, top RBS beam , middle RBS beam, exterior column and interior column

In this question, a cyclic loading is applied to shear wall and following that it’s hysteresis diagram will be drawn

In this picture, the hysteresis diagram gained from the Abaqus software has been compared with the experimental results

This problem consists of two parts: 1- buckling analysis 2- hysteresis analysis

First, buckling analysis is performed and buckling modes are extracted. Then, the initial imperfection is defined using buckling modes

In this picture, deformation of the Model undergoing the cyclic loading can be observed

This project has been validated, which means that the results obtained from Abaqus software are similar to the results of the article. In other words, this project is based on the article
