Shear Wall Resistance of Lightgage Steel Stud Wall Systems

Earthquake Spectra, 1990
Experimental 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

Seismic Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls-Steel Frame

Advanced Materials Research, 2015
A model with the ratio of 1:4 of a six layers’ semi-rigid steel frame-steel plate shear wallssystem has been tested on the shaking table.The strain variation of the steel plate shear wallsand the system’s seismic behaviors to different kinds of seismic waves from four different siteclassification and with different peakaccelerationwere analyzed to ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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

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.
