Investigation of Subpanel Size Effect on Behavior Factor of Stiffened Steel Plate Shear Wall [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems have been used in recent years in highly seismic areas to resist lateral loads. In general, a steel plate shear wall system consists of a steel plate wall, boundary columns, horizental floor beams and optional ...

Probabilistic assessment of steel moment frames incremental collapse (ordinary, intermediate and special) under earthquake [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017 Building collapse is a level of the structure performance in which the amount of financial and life loss is maximized, so this event could be the worst incident in the construction.

Investigation on cross sheeting thickness and its width in strengthening of steel shear wall under seismic load [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 The steel shear wall, as a system to resist the lateral loads, buckles when it is vulnerable to the lateral loads applied to the frame before it reaches its ultimate strength.

Influence of Material Thickness on the Ductile Fracture of Steel Plates for Shipbuilding
Polish Maritime Research, 2022 In the shipbuilding industry, the risk of brittle fractures is relatively high because some units operate in arctic or subarctic zones and use high thickness (up to 100 mm) steel plates in their structures.
