Abstract


Based on a large number of reference, by using non-linear FE analytical method to analyze the lightweight steel concrete horizontal bearing capacity.

In order to obtain more accurate simulation results, using solid element to simulate the various components of the wall, between the concrete and the wall frame columns are connected by the binding manner. To limit the beam wall vertical wall planar degrees of freedom .The coupling beam at the loading point X direction freedom, which was calculated in the X direction.

The analyzing result shows that the light steel structure is the main force members of the composite wall. And the increase of concrete strength can also improves the horizontal bearing capacity of the composite wall, but the concrete is not as the main bearing capacity of the component.
