An Improved Simulation Model of Shear Wall Structures of Tall Building

To simulate shear wall of tall building structures, some kinds of calculation methods towards Multi-Vertical-Line-Element Model are discussed in detail. A more reasonable element stiffness matrix and a improved Multi-Vertical-Line-Element Model are given. Combined with hysteretic axial model and hysteretic shear model, nonlinear analysis of a shear wall is put through. The calculation result indicates that the improved model has relatively well accuracy compared with test result.
