Behaviour of Steel Concrete Composite Wall Panel Under Dynamic Loading

Abstract

The seismic behaviour of Structural elements are increasingly grasping attention in recent years. This paper presents the study of behaviour of Composite wall panel using Normal Conventional concrete (NCC) and Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) by conducting Dynamic shake table test. The four different types of Composite Wall Panels(CWPs) are cast and experimental results are analyzed with Numerical analysis and finite element simulation method. The experimental results revealed that BFRC has higher mechanical properties compared to NCC. The dynamic test result shows displacement and damping vibration along with the changing of natural frequencies. Steel sheet BFRC Composite Wall Panels resist higher seismic motions compared to normal concrete wall panels. Analytical and numerical method was performed in order to evaluate the experimental results. From these results Basalt fiber can be used in the structural members to improve the tensile and ductility properties and also the behaviour of CWPs gives the seismic strength parameters of wall panels.
