Analysis of the Stiffness Ratio at the Interim Layer of Frame-Supported Multi-Ribbed Lightweight Walls under Low-Reversed Cyclic Loading

By conducting low-reversed cyclic loading tests, this paper explores the load-bearing performance of frame-supported multi-ribbed lightweight wall structures. The finite-element software (OpenSees) is used to simulate the process with the shear wall width (at the frame-supported layer) and different...
