Shear resistance of stiffened steel corrugated shear walls

Thin-Walled Structures, 2018
Abstract In recent years, the steel corrugated shear walls (SCSWs) are widely used in building structures to serve as lateral force resistant members. For some practical engineering applications that the width of the infilled SCSWs in frame structure is much greater than its height, it is common to add vertical stiffening systems to the SCSWs, thus ...

Shear strength of steel plate reinforced concrete shear wall

Advances in Structural Engineering, 2020
This article investigates the shear strength of steel plate reinforced concrete shear wall under cyclic loads. A nonlinear three-dimensional finite element model in ABAQUS was developed and validated against published experimental results. Then, a parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the parameters on the lateral capacity of ...

Steel Plate Shear Walls—An Overview

Engineering Journal, 2001
Steel 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.

Steel slit shear walls with an efficient geometry

Thin-Walled Structures, 2021
Abstract This paper presents the results of a study to improve the seismic behavior of steel shear walls with vertical slits. 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.

Shear resistance of buckling-restrained steel plate shear walls

International Journal of Steel Structures, 2017
The 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 ...

Characteristics of the wall–frame interaction in steel plate shear walls

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2010
Abstract The nonlinear response of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) dual systems under lateral loading with regard to the interaction between the infill plates and frame members is studied. A number of SPSWs are numerically analyzed and the results are utilized to discuss (a) the influence of infill plates on the behavior of frames and (b) to evaluate ...

Lateral Stiffness of Steel Shear Wall Systems

Structures Congress 2008, 2008
Lateral stiffness is an essential design parameter for steel shear wall systems. The research presented in this paper consisted of conducting nonlinear finite element analyses of steel shear wall systems to investigate lateral load resisting strength as well as lateral stiffness of this type of structural systems.

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

Steel Shear Walls for Existing Buildings

Engineering Journal, 1983
After the 1971 San Fernando earthquake in which two Veterans Administration hospitals collapsed, killing 46 people, the VA initiated an extensive program for evaluating and, if necessary, strengthening all VA hospital buildings in earthquake-troubled areas. One of the facilities that required strengthening was the VA Medical Center in Charleston, South
