This paper generates a failure criterion model to analyze the ultimate strength of steel-concrete sandwich composite (SC) wall subject to biaxial membrane forces, which are tension and compression on each side of the wall and in-plane shear. The failure criterion is demonstrated in principal stress space and x yx y space respectively. Test data in literature of steel concrete composite wall is summarized and 7 shear wall tests are conducted to verify the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
