Study on Optimal Design and Seismic Performance of Residential Shear Wall Structure
The effects of wall length and wall thickness on the seismic performance of shear walls are analyzed by simple simulation models of different shear specimens with finite element software SATWE.The results show that with the decrease of the length of shear wall,the interstory displacement-floor growth rate and interstory displacement increase continuously.The inter-story displacement Angle of shear wall structure in-creases continuously,and the maximum inter-story displacement Angle increases continuously.With the decrease of shear wall thickness,the natural vibration period,interstory displacement and interstory displacement Angle of shear wall structure do not change significantly.With the increase of the number of floors,the natural vibration period of the shear wall structure decreases rapidly at first,then tends to be stable and fi-nally approaches 1.3s.The interlayer displacement of the wall shows an increasing change rule with a slope of 0.89 mm/layer.
