Hysteretic analysis of thin steel plate shear walls

International Journal of Steel Structures, 2013
Thin steel plate shear walls (TSPSWs) are especially concerned due to the economic factor and excellent energy dissipation capacity. TSPSWs commonly define as steel plate with height-to-thickness ratio over 300. The post-buckling capacity, deformability and energy dissipation capacity of TSPSWs are now accepted by structural engineers.

Development of Ring-Shaped Steel Plate Shear Walls

Structures Congress 2013, 2013
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an attractive option for seismic lateral load resisting systems for both new and retrofit construction. However, the current approach to SPSWs in the U.S. typically uses very thin web plates, large boundary elements, and requires costly moment connections.

Seismic performance of steel plate shear walls structures

Pollack Periodica, 2011
The steel plate shear wall systems have some advantages in resisting seismic forces. Among the most important are the good dissipation capacity and initial stiffness. Unfortunately, there are no significant applications of this new structural system in Europe, partly due to the lack of design provisions in the seismic code EN1998-1. The paper addresses

Natural periods of steel plate shear wall systems

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2009
Abstract In most seismic building codes, the design base acceleration is computed using the natural period of vibration of the structure. Design specifications provide empirical formula to estimate the fundamental natural period of a system. In this study a class of steel plate shear walls, that have uniform properties through their height, was ...

Estimating fundamental periods of steel plate shear walls

Engineering Structures, 2011
Abstract Seismic design codes generally specify empirical formulae to estimate the fundamental vibration periods of buildings. Currently, most building codes provide the same empirical formula to estimate the fundamental periods for steel plate shear walls and reinforced concrete shear walls.

Hysteretic behavior of coupled steel plate shear walls

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2017
Abstract The coupled steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) is an efficient lateral load resisting system consisting of two or several steel plate shear walls connected to each other in story levels in order to increase the lateral strength. In this paper, 4-story capacity designed CSPSWs are considered with different cross section size and lengths for ...

Improving Overturning Stiffness of Steel Plate Shear Walls

Structures Congress 2015, 2015
Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) are efficient and economical energy dissipating systems for buildings located in regions of high seismic risk. In spite of many benefits of SPSWs, however, their overturning stiffness is relatively low, especially in mid-to-high rise buildings.

Thin steel plate shear walls behavior and analysis

Thin-Walled Structures, 1998
Abstract Steel plate shear walls have been used in buildings in North America and Japan. Until recently, the design practice has been to limit the strength of the wall to the buckling strength of the plate. The post-buckling strength of thin plates subjected to shear has been recognized for more than 60 years, since it was outlined by Wagner in the ...
