Steel Plate Shear Walls—An Overview
Engineering Journal, 2001Steel plate shear walls are an innovative lateral loadresisting system capable of effectively bracing a building against both wind and earthquake forces. The system consists of vertical steel infill plates one story high and one bay wide connected to the surrounding beams and columns.

Shear resistance of buckling-restrained steel plate shear walls
International Journal of Steel Structures, 2017The buckling-restrained steel plate shear walls (SPSWs), which consist of a steel plate sandwiched in between by two reinforced concrete (RC) cover plates, are known to be a robust and efficient lateral load-resisting system. Since the initial imperfection between the RC plates and the inner plate which is mainly caused by the fabrication and ...

Analysis of Thin-Steel-Plate Shear Walls
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1997This 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, 2004Steel 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, 2012Fragility 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, 2010SUMMARYConnecting 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, 2013The 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, 2009An 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 ...

Elastic shear buckling of sinusoidally corrugated steel plate shear wall
Engineering Structures, 2016Abstract 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 ...
