On the design of stiffeners in steel plate shear walls

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2009
Abstract This paper describes a numerical investigation to provide a practical design method for stiffening thin steel plate shear walls. The procedure considers one-sided transverse and longitudinal flat stiffeners located in various arrangements on shear plates which effectively divides the plate into subpanels and expands tension fields across the

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.

Tests on Steel-Frame, Shear-Wall Structures

Journal of the Structural Division, 1971
Tests of three, four-story, single-bay, coupled shear-wall, steel-frame specimens were performed as part of a general investigation of the behavior of multistory structures. Each test specimen consisted of a reinforced concrete shear wall and a steel column stack, connected at four levels by rigidly framed steel beams.

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

Experimental Study on Steel Shear Wall with Slits

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2003
A new type of earthquake-resisting element, consisting of a steel plate shear wall with vertical slits, is introduced. In this system, the steel plate segments between the slits behave as a series of flexural links, which provide a fairly ductile response without the need for heavy stiffening of the wall.

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 ...

STEEL SHEAR WALLS, BEHAVIOR, MODELING AND DESIGN

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
In recent years steel shear walls have become one of the more efficient lateral load resisting systems in tall buildings. The basic steel shear wall system consists of a steel plate welded to boundary steel columns and boundary steel beams. In some cases the boundary columns have been concrete‐filled steel tubes.
