Abstract

Abstract: In this study, effects of different curved structures on mechanical behavior of curved double steel-concrete composite shear (SC) walls under cyclic loading were investigated numerically. Firstly, the experimental results of a straight SC wall under cyclic loading were used to validate numerical result. After then, curved SC walls were designed in ABAQUS according to different radius-thickness (R/t) ratios (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40). In numerical studies, in-plane monotonic response, cycling response, and out-of-plane monotonic response were investigated by changing the loading. The results showed that among all parameters, the R/t ratio:5 has better seismic performance by 11.87% than straight SC wall under cyclic loading. In addition, it was found that when the ratio of the radius of curvature to the section thickness values were greater than 10, curved SC walls behaved as straight SC walls. When the R/t ratio was bigger than 10, the ultimate load and damage of wall load dropped consistently. According to in-plane monotonic response results, R/t ratio:5 has a 13.6% better peak force than straight wall when it is compared with other R/t ratio values. Calculated results showed that although there is no effect in bearing capacity when R/t ≥ 10, it increased by 35.4% when R/t is 5.
