EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON WIND AND SHEAR RESISTANCE OF CONTAINER HOUSE SIDING

In order to study the wind and shear resistance of container house siding，two kinds of tests were carried out． For the wind resistance test，the wind load under 300 km/h was converted into a free fall impact action in accordance with the principle of energy equivalence． Results indicated that the wind resistance gradually weakened as the size of specimen increased． To study the shear resistance，the contrast tests were carried out for steel frames specimens with welded corrugated plate and the ones of same size without welded corrugated plate under horizontal load． The results showed that the in-plane bending rigidity and bearing capacity of the specimens would be improved when welded corrugated sheets were used． If the size of the specimen was beyond a certain value，the shear resistance would decrease as the increase in their size．
