Pushover analysis of the steel plate shear wall in the Abaqus software

Pushover analysis of the steel plate shear wall in the Abaqus software

In this example we intend to simulate Pushover analysis of the steel plate shear wall in the Abaqus software

In this question, a monotonic loading is applied to the shear wall and the pushover diagram of the shear wall will be drawn

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, the results gained from the Abaqus software have been compared with those results obtained from experimental sample. As you observe, the deformation of the Abaqus software is quite conformed with laboratory sample

Actually, we are going to simulate this article in the Abaqus software titled ‘’Experimental Study of Diagonally Stiffened Steel Plate Shear Walls with central perforation’’

The steel plate shear wall is composed of two columns, three beams, one plate and a few continuity plates

Actually, the sample we’ve simulated is the shear wall without stiffeners and in fact the SPSW2 Model has been simulated here

As it can be clearly observed, the results obtained from the Abaqus software are quite the same as those mentioned in the article and they are extremely precise

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
