Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Adaptive-Slit Shear Walls

Abstract

In order to further study the mechanism of adaptive-slit shear walls under horizontal loads, and facilitate it better applied to practical engineering. On the basis of experimental studies, the ABAQUS finite element analysis software is used to establish the finite model of adaptive-slit shear. The finite element model accuracy is verified by comparing the model and test results. A validated model is used to study the mechanical property of adaptive-slit shear walls under monotonic loads.
