Steel Plate Shear Wall

Coupled steel plate shear wall (C-SPSW) is one of the resisting systems with high ductility and energy absorption capacity. Energy dissipation in the C-SPSW system is accomplished by the bending and shear behavior of the link beams and SPSW. Energy dissipation and floor displacement control occur through link beams at low seismic levels, easily replaced after an earthquake. In this study, an innovative coupled steel plate shear wall with a yielding FUSE is presented. The system uses a high-ductility FUSE pin element instead of a link beam, which has good replaceability after the earthquake. In this study, four models of coupled steel plate shear walls were investigated with I-shaped link beam, I-shaped link beam with reduced beam section (RBS), box-link beam with RBS, and FUSE pin element under cyclic loading. The finite element method was used through ABAQUS software to develop the C-SPSW models. Two test specimens of coupled steel plate shear walls were validated to verify the finite element method results. Comparative results of the hysteresis curves obtained from the finite element analysis with the experimental curves indicated that the finite element model offered a good prediction of the hysteresis behavior of C-SPSW. It is demonstrated in this study that the FUSE pin can improve and increase the strength and energy dissipation of a C-SPSW system by 19% and 20%, respectively.

In view of the proposal of embedded steel plate concrete shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns which contains a new kind shear connector of tie-bars through the circular holes linking concrete layers on both sides of the plate. In order to prove the seismic performance of walls with circular holes on the plate, three steel plate shear wall specimens, including the plate without holes bolted with columns, welded with columns, and the perforated plate welded with columns, were tested under cyclic loading. According to the results, the load-bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, hysteretic behavior and failure phenomena were analyzed. It is showed that the load-bearing capacity of the three specimens were quite close. However, the wall with perforated steel plate has better ductility, energy dissipation and hysteretic behavior. So, it is an effective way to improve the seismic performance of walls by means of embedded perforated steel plate instead of ordinary ones.

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.

Hysteretic Characteristics

In this study, in a novel buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall (BRSPSW) with out-of-plane deformation spaces, angle steel stiffeners have been installed so as to create gaps between the steel plate and the covering concrete slabs. A finite element model has been developed to analyse the effect of the gap. According to the finite element results, seismic performance of this novel BRSPSW has been tested under cyclic loading at the scale ratio of 1/3. The failure pattern, hysteretic characteristics, skeleton curve, equivalent stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation have all been systematically analysed. A stiffened steel plate shear wall (SPSW) has also been tested in order to determine the differences between these two steel shear walls in load-carrying capability and the function and significance of the gap. The test results show that the novel BRSPSW does not only significantly enhance the ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, and accumulated energy dissipation of the SPSW but also keep the steel plate basically intact at the end of the test. This can be attributed to the existence of the gaps between the infilled steel plate and the covering concrete slabs. The hysteretic characteristics and the strength and deformation characteristics of this novel BRSPSW have been simulated by using the finite element model, and the test results are in good agreement with the finite element results. Hence, the BRSPSW is an excellent steel plate shear wall to be used in high rise structure to resist horizontal loadings.

Low-cycle reciprocating loading tests were carried out on a steel frame with prefabricated beam-only connected steel plate shear wall (specimen A) and a steel frame with welded beam-only connected steel plate shear wall (specimen B). The seismic performance of the two different types of steel frame-steel plate shear wall specimens was studied and the failure modes, hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, and seismic performance index, etc of two groups of specimens were obtained, together with the studies of failure characteristics, ductility, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation of the two specimens. The results showed that the assembled steel frame-steel plate shear wall with connection joints of steel shear wall with discontinuous cover plate connected on both sides (DCPC) have good seismic performance. On the basis of no loss of seismic performance, DCPC joints can provide better energy dissipation capacity than traditional welded steel plate shear wall structures and ensure the good postearthquake repair function.

Based on the experiment of a one-third scale, single-span, two-storey semi-rigid composite steel frame model with cross-stiffened steel plate shear wall under lateral cyclic loadings, the interactive effect between the joint stiffness and the cross-stiffened steel plate shear wall, the failure mode and energy dissipation mechanism of the structure system were analyzed, some important parameters were obtained in regard to load-carrying capacity, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. The results showed that the specimen exhibited excellent ductility, energy dissipation capacity and great safety margin; the stiffness degradation of the joints was not serious, the requirement of ductility was lowered by setting up infill panels, the cooperative work between the frame and the steel plate shear wall was well; stiffeners improved the force condition of steel panels, increased the stiffness and load-carrying capacity of panels, lightened the pinch of hysteretic loops and reduced the noise and tremor of panels. The failure mode of the structure induced by buckling of stiffeners, local buckling and interactive buckling of infill panels，plastic hinges were formed at the bottom of column and semi-rigid connection, the in-plane deformation of specimen was bending failure. The research provides a basis for engineering application and theoretical analysis of the structural system.
