Estudio comparativo del desempeño de paneles verticales de tubos de acero estructural y muros estructurales mixtos ante carga lateral

Abstract

This study compares two Lateral Load Resisting Systems, the first is a Mixed Steel and Concrete Shear Wall and the second is a Steel Grid Tube Panel, both of them have boundary elements constructed of rectangular steel profiles filled with concrete. The data of the Concrete Shear Wall study is from 2015, the author is Carlos Quishpe. The panels tested in this study have the same dimensions and same load conditions as the Mixed Steel and Concrete Shear Walls. The objectives of this study is to compare both Lateral Load Resisting Systems in terms of stiffness, ductility, tenacity, and maximum load capacity. Also, to obtain the stiffness of the system, tangent and secant stiffness on every cycle of loading, elastic strain energy, and the dissipated energy of the system. The columns and beams for both systems have the same dimensions, this is the same steel wall thickness, as well as the same dimensions for length, width and height. The results obtained will be the basis for future studies of the proposed system, as well as to evaluate the performance of the system compared with other Lateral Load Resisting Systems available today.
