Contribution Of Material Properties On Seismic Behaviour Of Shear Wall
Abstract
In structural engineering, a shear wall is a structural system composed of shear panels to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.The most common loads for which shear walls are designed to carry are wind and seismic load. Shear walls are built using steel plates, wood, concrete, and masonry etc. The objective of this study is to discuss seismic behaviour of shear wall of different materials. One of the most conventional material used in wood shear wall. In the place of structural plywood in shear walls, steel sheet and steel backed shear panels are also used to provide stronger seismic resistance. The strength of brick masonary shear wall is usually defined in terms of average shear and normal stresses on bed joint. In this paper, review of sesmic performances of shear wall made up of different types of materials has been conducted. Wood, steel plate, masonry, cfs are the materials used for shear wall.
