Abstract
This research describes the structural behavior of profiled steel sheet dry board (PSSDB) composite wall panels under shear and axial loading based on experimental, theoretical and finite element (FE) analyses. The proposed PSSDB walling system consists of an individual profiled steel sheet (PSS) assembled with a single or double plywood dry board (DB) with or without concrete in-fill. The influences of various parameters such as presence or absence of concrete-infill/opening and boundary frame as well as DB-PSS/DB-PSS-DB/PSSDB-frame connections/fasteners and panel geometric/material properties on load-deformation response, ultimate load capacity and failure modes are investigated. Experimental results of PSSDB wall panels were used to validate the performance of FE and theoretical models for predicting the shear and axial strength capacity. The FE analysis coupled with experimental and theoretical analyses provides a better understanding of the structural performance of PSSDB walls and hence, helps to develop design guidelines for their use as structural units in buildings.
Highlights
New concepts, such as those comprising of steel structural systems, composite steel-concrete systems, and lightweight panels made of various materials, hollow blocks and other similar Industrialized Building System (IBS) are becoming more suitable to the construction technology (Awang and Badaruzzaman, 2009)
2.5 Review Conclusion This chapter reviews the overall structural behavior of the innovative profiled steel sheet dry board (PSSDB) composite panel when used as flooring, roofing and walling units in buildings and proven its feasibility to use this system in the practical application
More research is required to understand the structural performance of PSSDB wall panels with a combination of different types of wooden board, profiled steel sheet, connectors and concrete infill
Summary
New concepts, such as those comprising of steel structural systems, composite steel-concrete systems, and lightweight panels made of various materials, hollow blocks and other similar Industrialized Building System (IBS) are becoming more suitable to the construction technology (Awang and Badaruzzaman, 2009). The aim of conducting these experiments was to examine the effect of various geometric, connections and material test parameters in determining the structural behavior of PSSDB load bearing wall panels The performance of such walls was assessed based on load-deformation response, strength and failure modes under axial loading. Tests on composite PSSDB wall panels and their associated components (dry-board, profiled steel sheet and concrete core) bounded by pin-ended rigid frame and without frame were tested under in-plane shear simulating framed-shear wall and cantilever shear wall systems, respectively. The performance of such shear wall systems was assessed based on shear load-deformation response, shear strength and failure modes.
