Ezperimental Study on Seismic Behavior of Bamboo-Steel Composite Walls
This paper studies a novel bamboo-steel composite wall. The wall is formed by joining two pieces of bamboo plywood on the surface and a piece of profiled steel sheet in the core together utilizing adhesive. Taking thickness of the bamboo plywood and thickness and corrugation-height of the profiled steel sheet as variables, quasi-static tests were performed on 5 pieces of the composite walls to acquire their load-bearing capacity, ductility coefficient, energy dissipation coefficient and other seismic performance indexes. Analysis shows that changes of thickness of bamboo plywood have little effect on shear strength and stiffness of the walls. However, changes of thickness or corrugation-height of profiled steel sheet make very sharp differences to bearing capability of the walls and their seismic behavior. Test results reveal that the tested walls, which provided superior bearing capacity and stiffness and possessed excellent ductility, performed with fine composite action. So it is proper for this kind of composite wall to be used as structural member for its light weight, high strength, energy-efficiency and good seismic performance.
