Seismic behavior of obliquely stiffened steel plate shear wall with openings

Seismic behavior of obliquely stiffened steel plate shear wall with openings

In this example, we intend to simulate obliquely stiffened steel plate shear wall with openings under cyclic loading in the Abaqus software.

In this picture, the laboratory model can be observed

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 problem, a cyclic loading will be applied to top beam and then, the hysteresis diagram of the Model will be drawn

In this picture, the hysteresis diagram having been obtained from the Abaqus software has been compared with the laboratory results

As you observe, there’s a good conformity between the results obtained from the Abaqus software with the experimental results.

In this picture, the final deformation of the steel shear wall can be observed

Here, we intend to compare the deformations obtained from the Abaqus software with those gained from experimental results

Here, you can observe the deformation having occurred to the top beam. This deformation can be also observed evidently in the Abaqus software

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
