Structural Performance of Composite Walls Composed of Profiled Steel Skin and Rubberized Concrete

Abstract

Composite materials have long been used in a variety of sectors. The non-residential multi-story building industry is dominated by composite construction. For more than two decades, this has been the situation. Its success can be attributed to the strength and stiffness that can be achieved with minimal materials and widely accepted prefabricated structural systems. One of them is the Profiled Double Skin Composite Walls (PDSC’s). It is made up of two contoured steel plates with concrete filling the area between them. Studies have shown that the composite effects of steel plates and infilled concrete can improve composite wall axial bearing capacity. The global buckling performance of slender PDSCWs under axial compression has been studied by a number of researchers. The lateral loading conditions, on the other hand, were not thoroughly investigated. The profiled steel plates can be used as permanent formwork for infilled concrete, and they can also be employed in basement walls and shear walls for improved impact resistance and delayed failure. The best configuration for strength achievement is done and best designs are suggested.

The analysis of composite walls made up of profiled steel skin plate and rubberized concrete for various profile forms, strength parameters, and the application of composite walls as shear walls are explored statically and dynamically using ANSYS software in this work.
