The Effects of Steel Amount of the Concrete Precast 3D Panel Welded Wire Frame on their Nonlinear and Seismic Behaviors

In the present investigation, the effects of the steel amount of the welded wire space frame of the prefabricated 3D sandwich panel on their nonlinear behavior are described. In order to do this study, numerical analysis of three models of wall system which are consisted of 3D panels with different amounts of steel in panels’ steel mesh is performed by ANSYS soft ware under cyclic loading. Through this analysis, maximum tolerable shear force, maximum lateral displacement and ductility factor of the models are estimated. In addition three models of the four-story building by using 3D wall system in three upper floors and using concrete frame system at the parking level, are analyzed under seismic motion in order to determine the effects of the steel amount of welded wire space frame of the 3D panels on the seismic behavior of the models.
