Practical Calculation Method of Gypsum Concrete Compositive Wall Plate

In order to apply gypsum concrete compositive wall plate,a new structural component,in engineering conveniently,an equivalent simplified method,which could be applicable for the widely used software SATWE,was proposed according to the characteristics of the gypsum concrete compositive wall plate.After treating the compositive wall plate equivalently,the analysis and calculation for a typical structure were carried out.The comparison between the calculated results and tested fundamental model indicates that they agree well with each other,which proves the validity of the proposed simplified method.The results also show that the gypsum concrete compositive wall plate is better than the reinforced concrete shear wall in aseismatic capability.
