Finite element analysis of displacement of composite wall cladding under wind loading

Utilizing finite element program, this study analyzed the displacement of composite wall cladding under wind loading and discussed the influence of the wall displacement by the main parameters, such as the thickness of the wall structure, horizontal truss, vertical truss and steel mesh. The results showed that the main factor to affect the wall cladding stiffness was the thickness of the wall structure, followed by the horizontal truss, less influence of other factors. The conclusion provided a theoretical basis of research and development of this new type of composite wall cladding.
