The semi-rigid steel frame-reinforced concrete infill wall structure (SRCW) ,which combines advantages of a steel frame and a shear wall,is considered as a new type of aseismatic structure with a brilliant future. The FEM study on SRCW structure was localized on the linear elastic stage so far. In order to study seismic behavior and force distribution in the structural system of the SRCW,the basic process for non-linear FEM simulation was expatiated using the software ANSYS,and then the FEM model was validated by experimental data. Based on which the structural behavior was evaluated from four aspects: strength, stiffness, load distribution, ductility and energy dissipation. The analytical results indicate that the structure has ample lateral bearing capacity and high safety factor.The structure has good performances on ductility and energy dissipation. The steel framework undertakes 80%~100% of the whole overturning moment and the infill wall takes 80%~90% of overall lateral load. Finally,suggestions on aseismic design were presented.
