Shear resistance of stiffened steel corrugated shear walls
Thin-Walled Structures, 2018Abstract 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, 2020This 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, 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 ...

Shear Wall Resistance of Lightgage Steel Stud Wall Systems
Earthquake Spectra, 1990Experimental investigations were conducted to evaluate the lateral load-deflection characteristics of lightgage steel stud/gypsum wallboard panel combinations subjected to lateral cyclic loads. In all, six 8′ × 8′ specimens were tested. A reasonable one-to-one correspondence between the strap area increase and the increase in the contribution from the

Lateral Stiffness of Steel Shear Wall Systems
Structures Congress 2008, 2008Lateral 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.

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.

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 ...

Steel Shear Walls for Existing Buildings
Engineering Journal, 1983After 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
