Abstract:This paper evaluates the effect of wall panels, made of cold formed steel with sheathing on both sides used as infill, on the seismic behaviour of steel frames in terms of the overall additional stiffness and damping capacity. For this purpose, a series of ambient vibration testing was first carried out on a bare steel skeleton and then on a fully finished five-storey building. Based on the global characteristics of the panels, which were identified by experimental matching, a finite element modeling was made … Show more
