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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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.
