Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building structural engineering technology, specifically to a method for improving the load-bearing performance of flat and corrugated steel plate shear walls based on parameter optimization. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of building structural engineering, there is a continuous pursuit of high efficiency and lightweight lateral force resisting systems. Flat and corrugated steel plate shear walls, as a structural form that combines high load-bearing capacity and good energy dissipation capability, are subject to complex influences from various parameters such as corrugation geometry, component dimensions, and connection details. With the development of computational mechanics and optimization theory, systematically adjusting key design parameters to synergistically improve their comprehensive performance in terms of load-bearing capacity, deformation, and energy dissipation has become an important research direction for achieving refined structural design.
[0003] In existing technologies, the design of flat and corrugated steel plate shear walls mainly relies on engineers' experience or isolated analysis of single performance characteristics, lacking a systematic parametric design process. The influence mechanisms of each parameter are complex and interdependent, making it difficult to achieve synergistic optimization of multiple objectives such as load-bearing capacity, deformation, and energy dissipation through conventional methods. At the same time, traditional design methods cannot accurately quantify the comprehensive impact of parameter adjustments on the overall hysteretic performance and buckling stability of the structure. As a result, the final design scheme often fails to achieve the optimal balance between safety, economy, and seismic performance, which restricts the refined design and engineering application of such high-performance shear walls.

[0148] By calling the corrugated steel plate profile function and using the specific amplitude value, wavelength and selected corrugation angle, the three-dimensional geometry of the corrugated steel plate is obtained.
[0149] Using the selected bolt spacing as a reference, the coordinates of each bolt hole position are calculated and determined along the domain of the corrugated steel plate profile function. The calculation process is as follows:
[0150] Along the X-axis of the global rectangular coordinate system, starting from the edge of one side of the wall, and using the selected bolt spacing as a fixed interval, the X-axis coordinate values of each column of bolt holes are determined sequentially, using the following formula:
[0151]
