Abstract
EN: Abstract. For low-rise buildings frame technologies using lightweight
thin-wall steel constructions have become significantly widespread.
The main influence on a building’s spatial rigidity under
lateral forces is taken by shearwalls. The necessary stiffness
can be accomplished by setting definite constructional parameters
that are selected according to the design approach.
The purposes of the work are to receive the dependencies of
the influence of the constructional features on the stiffness of
the shearwalls (using FEM models) and to set the value of the
stiffness of the shearwall of any configuration by linking its
parameters with the corresponding parameters of a standard
shearwall through the established dependencies.
The received dependencies of the effect of the main constructional
factors and design approach for the stiffness of shearwalls
can be used to provide spatial rigidity. A simplified design
approach for estimating the influence of the main constructional
features of shearwalls on their rigidity has been developed.
