Investigation of the composite steel shear wall

Shear wall is one of the most common systems resistant to lateral loads, especially seismic loads in tall structures, which also increases the stiffness of the building, so that in many buildings today this system is used. Shear wall, which is made of concrete or steel, also has weaknesses. To achieve a strong structure, a combination of three parameters of strength, stiffness and ductility is required, which is one of the methods to achieve such a structure is the use of a composite shear wall. Composite shear walls can be divided into two categories: the first category is reinforced concrete shear walls, which are compounded by a secondary factor such as steel plate, and the second category is steel shear walls, which are reinforced with reinforced concrete, are composed. Steel plate improves the seismic performance of the system, including load-bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation, and reinforced concrete walls prevent buckling of the steel plate.
