Web Plates

Unstiffened Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) are very effective structural systems designed to resist lateral forces. SPSW systems consist of thin web plates infilled within frames of steel horizontal and vertical boundary elements. The thin unstiffened web plates are expected to buckle in shear and to develop diagonal tension field after buckling under the action of horizontal loads. For unstiffened steel plates, buckling in shear occurs in the elastic range at low stress levels. This behaviour provides strength, stiffness and ductility and allows to have an appropriate level of energy dissipation through tension yielding of the web plates. This paper assesses the inelastic structural response and behaviour of Steel Plate Shear Wall systems using both a modified strip model approach and a new simplified strip model for only beam connected SPSWs. Both models are developed with plasticity concentrated elements and the performed analyses include the nonlinear behaviour of strips, also considering the compressive forces effects over the strip model elements. This research indicates fundamental aspects of the seismic performance of Steel Plate Shear Wall systems, such as energy dissipation capacity, panel ductility demand, seismic inter-story drift and design load demands in Vertical Boundary Elements (VBE) and Horizontal Boundary Elements (HBE) of the frame. The results obtained from the use of these models are compared with selected experimental and numerical results to enrich the research conclusions.

Colliding Bodies Optimization

In this paper three well-known metaheuristic algorithms comprising of Colliding Bodies Optimization, Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization are employed for size and performance optimization of steel plate shear wall systems. Low seismic and high seismic optimal designs of these systems are performed according to the provisions of AISC 360 and AISC 341. In one part of the low seismic example, a moment frame and Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPW) strength are compared. Performance optimization of the Special Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) for size optimized system is one of the objectives of the high seismic example. Finally, base shear sensitivity analysis on optimal high seismic design of SPSW and size optimization of a 6-story to a 12-story SPSW are performed to have a comprehensive view on the optimal design of steel plate shear walls.
