Abstract
In recent decades, steel frames infilled with precast load-bearing walls have been successfully employed as lateral load-resisting structural systems in high-rise buildings. This is due to their structural efficiency as outer and major inner facades and to the higher construction speed of the building. This paper presents a detailed experimental investigation of a sustainable, prefabricated, composite structural wall system, using a representative test model named the Precast Concrete Steel Panel-Infilled Steel Frame (PCSP-ISF) in full-scale dimensions and subjected to in-plane cyclic loading. A series of experiments was conducted on critical structural specimens, including threepoint bending, concentric axial compression, and diagonal compression, together with additional cycling loading tests on steel connection joint specimens, with the aim of validating the reliability and the structural response of the connections. The resulting test data and the observed failure mechanisms are discussed carefully to optimise the sustainable structural performance of the system. A theoretical approach for the evaluation of the shear capacity of the total frame system is also discussed to expand the experimental results for several numerical and experimental research cases. The failure mechanism of this module was formed by a combination of developed plastic hinges on the steel joints and diagonal cracks on the concrete panel. The obtained hysteretic behavior of the system at a parameter with major impact is mainly analysed and discussed. The outcomes indicate a satisfactory and sustainable seismic performance of the PCSP-ISF model, indicating that it can be a very promising lateral load-resisting system for earthquake-prone regions.
