Abstract
A nonlinear 3D solid model of hybrid coupled wall system with steel boundary elements has been founded by using FEM software ABAQUS to study its hysteretic behavior under cyclic loading, which considering the geometric large deformation and materials nonlinearity. To verify the efficiency of the model, two specimens with various coupling ratios of 30% and 45% are analyzed, and the results of analysis are compared with test ones. As the bearing capacities of both agree well in different loading stages, so the FEM model has enough accuracy and could be used to study the seismic behavior of hybrid coupled wall system with steel boundary elements. In addition, the results show that this new system dissipates energy by shear deformation of steel beams along and plastic hinge deformation at the bottom of wall, so it has better seismic performance.
