The seismic performance of the double skin composite wall with steel truss was investigated through quasi-static tests, showing that specimens with smaller aspect ratios exhibited better performance while those with longer flange walls had higher shear strength. The predominant failure mode of the specimens was flexure-shear failure, characterized by shear buckling of the steel plate.
The double skin composite wall (DSCW) with steel truss is an innovative lateral load resisting member which composed of two steel plates, core concrete, concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) as boundary members, and steel truss connectors. The effects of the aspect ratio and the flange wall width on the seismic performance are investigated based on the quasi-static test of full-scale T-shaped DSCWs with steel truss. The failure mode, load-displacement response, shear strength, ductility, energy dissipation, shear deformation, and stress distribution of the specimens were analyzed. The test results showed that the failure mode of the T-shaped DSCW with steel truss specimens with aspect ratios of 2.0 and 2.5 was flexure-shear failure, which was characterized by shear buckling of the steel plate, local buckling, and fracture of the boundary members, and of crushing of core concrete. The T-shaped specimens with a small aspect ratio have a higher shear strength, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and shear deformation proportion. The T-shaped specimen with a long flange wall also has a higher shear strength, but the ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and shear deformation proportion are small. The stress distribution indicates that the T-shaped specimen is more likely to failure due to the insufficient flexural strength of the boundary member. The theoretical formula for the flexural strength of T-shaped DSCW with steel truss is established, and the validation results show that the formula is accurate and safe. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
