Study on Shear Capacity of Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Composite Walls with Openings

Abstract:

This paper gives a simple introduction of the development and structural behaviors of cold-formed thin-walled steel structure under shear loads. An overview of existing research on shear performance of cold-formed thin-walled steel composite walls with openings is given. This paper summarizes and arranges the data of such experiments on composite walls with openings. Finally, with the use of SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) software, this paper makes a regression analysis, and gets an equation of reduction ratio considering openings.
