Corrugated Plates

Recently, corrugated steel plate shear walls have been shown to be an efficient lateral force resisting system for building structures. Corrugated plates have higher out-of-plane stiffness and improved buckling stability in comparison with flat plates which result in improved hysteretic behavior. However, the thickness of the corrugated plates may be limited due to the cold-form process restrictions. This paper investigates the cyclic performance of double corrugated steel plate shear walls. One-story single-bay specimen was designed and modelled and parametric studies were performed. The parametric study considered the orientation of corrugated plates (horizontal or vertical), disconnection of infill plates from columns, disconnection of infill plates from each other, infill plate thickness and infill plate aspect ratio on cyclic performance of double corrugated steel plate shear walls. The present study results show that proper selection of the aforementioned parameters can lead to a desirable cyclic performance. In the end, a recommendation for calculating initial stiffness and ultimate strength of double corrugated steel plate shear walls is given.

Steel Plate Shear Walls

Lately, Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls (CSPSWs) have gained significance and reputation for being effective lateral force-resisting systems. Corrugated plates are characterized by greater out-of-plane stiffness and buckling stability than flat plates, ensuring their enhanced hysteretic behavior. In ordinary Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs), infill plates are fixed to beams and columns. But, detaching the infill plate from columns and connecting it to the beams only is assumed here as a method for reducing column demands. The current study explores the cyclic performance of CSPSWs with beam-only-connected infill plates. The design of a one-story single-bay specimen was done and its finite element model was developed. Parametric studies have targeted CSPSWs with different geometric variables, including orientation, thickness, and aspect ratio of the infill plate. Noteworthy responses were ultimate strength, initial stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, and force-deformation relationship. The obtained results indicated that selecting the right geometrical parameters could yield a desirable cyclic performance. Finally, an analytical method was proposed for calculating the ultimate shear strength of beam-only-connected CSPSWs.

Four scaled one-storey single-bay steel plate shear wall (SPSW) specimens with unstiffened panels were tested to determine their behaviour under cyclic loadings. The shear walls had moment-resisting beam-to-column connections. Four different vertical loads, i.e., 300 kN, 600 kN, 900 kN, and 1200 kN, representing the gravity load of the upper storeys were applied at the top of the boundary columns through a force distribution beam. A horizontal cyclic load was then applied at the top of the specimens. The specimen behaviour, envelope curves, axial stress distribution of the infill steel plate, and shear capacity were analyzed. The axial stress distribution and envelope curves were compared with the values predicted using an analytical model available in the literature.
