Analysis of Thin-Steel-Plate Shear Walls

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1997
This plate panels in steel-plate shear walls buckle at very small load and the strength of the wall is based on the postbuckling strength of its plate panels. The plate panels can be modeled using equivalent truss elements in the diagonal tension direction.

Steel Plate Shear Walls Are Not Plate Girders

Engineering Journal, 2004
Steel plate shear walls that are allowed to buckle in shear and form a diagonal tension field have been the subject of several experimental and analytical studies. In some of these studies, references are made to the physical and analytical similarities between steel plate shear walls and vertical cantilever plate girders.

Fragility Functions for Steel Plate Shear Walls

Earthquake Spectra, 2012
Fragility functions are developed to predict the method of repair required for steel plate shear walls damaged due to earthquake loading. The results of previous experimental studies are used to develop empirical relationships between damage states and story drift.

Beam‐attached steel plate shear walls

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, 2010
SUMMARYConnecting to their surrounding beams and columns, unstiffened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are widely used as an appropriate lateral resisting system for designing and retrofitting of structures against lateral loads. The base philosophy for the performance of such systems, post‐buckling tension field formation, needs strong enough boundary ...

Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear walls

Science China Technological Sciences, 2013
The steel plate shear wall system has been used in a number of buildings as an innovative lateral force resistant system. Openings often exist in the steel plate shear walls due to the various functional requirements of structures. These openings may negatively impact the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear walls. Therefore, an experimental research

Steel Plate Shear Walls with Various Infill Plate Designs

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2009
An experimental study was performed to investigate the structural capacity of steel plate walls with various infill plate designs. Five three-story steel plate shear walls with thin infill plates were tested. The parameters for this test were the connection method between the boundary frame and the infill plate (welded connection versus bolted ...

Seismic Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls-Steel Frame

Advanced Materials Research, 2015
A model with the ratio of 1:4 of a six layers’ semi-rigid steel frame-steel plate shear wallssystem has been tested on the shaking table.The strain variation of the steel plate shear wallsand the system’s seismic behaviors to different kinds of seismic waves from four different siteclassification and with different peakaccelerationwere analyzed to ...

Elastic shear buckling of sinusoidally corrugated steel plate shear wall

Engineering Structures, 2016
Abstract This paper deals with elastic shear buckling behavior of infill panels in sinusoidally corrugated steel plate shear walls, and fitting equations predicting the shear buckling loads are presented. Firstly by using finite element analyses (FEA), the previous formulae for bending rigidities of sinusoidally corrugated plates are revised, then ...

The Gusset Plate Effect in Steel Plate Shear Wall Systems

Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 2012
A steel plate shear wall dual system consists of a moment resisting frame plus thin infill shear panels. In the literature, it is stated that the ultimate lateral load bearing capacity of such a dual system can be evaluated by a simple addition of the discrete frame, brought about by the formation of plastic hinges and that of detached infill panel ...

Seismic resistance of steel plate shear walls

Engineering Structures, 1995
In recent years, steel plate shear walls have been used in a number of tall buildings, mainly in Japan and North America, to resist lateral forces induced by wind and earthquakes. The perceived advantages of such shear walls, in seismic resistant structures, are enhanced stiffness, strength and ductility, stable hysteretic characteristics and a large ...
