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.

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.

Based on the time-history analysis principle of bidirectional equivalent tension rod of steel shear wall in this paper, the theory of Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is used to investigate the real seismic behavior of steel frame-steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system under a large number of natural earthquake waves and artificial simulated earthquake waves with the gradually increased scale of seismic intensity in order to achieve the base shear-roof displacement (V-Δ) curve under each earthquake wave action. Based on the principle of unidirectional equivalent tension rod, the pushover analysis is also used to obtain the curve of base shear and roof displacement under two different loading modes of uniform distribution and inverted triangular distribution. Through the above two different methods of seismic behavior evaluation, the achieved conclusions are as follows: The most V-Δ envelope curves obtained by IDA analysis are between V-Δ envelope curves obtained by pushover analysis under these two loading modes of inverted triangular and uniform distribution. With the increase of structural storey, the effect of high order mode on seismic behavior is more and more obvious and the deviation of calculation results derived from pushover is bigger and bigger. As a result, pushover analysis is only applied to evaluate seismic performance of structure at the middle or low storey. For the pushover, the structural bearing capacity and initial stiffness is underestimated, but the structural deformation capacity is overestimated under inverted triangular loading mode, Whereas, it is the opposite situation under the uniform distribution.

A steel plate shear wall often uses partially encased composite (PEC) columns instead of edge frame columns. Such a steel plate shear wall not only bears the gravity load of the structure and resists the bending moment caused by lateral force by taking advantage of the high bearing capacity and bending stiffness of PEC columns, but also effectively anchors with the frame column to counteract the tension field generated by the steel plate. Therefore, the performance of the steel plate shear wall after buckling can be fully exerted and the seismic performance of the structure can be improved. In order to investigate the seismic performance of the structure, a 1/3-scale specimen test of steel plate shear wall with PEC columns is designed and fabricated, and a finite element model is established with the same size of test. It is found that the test and simulation results are in good agreement, which confirms the reliability of the simulation. Subsequently, 20 models with different parameters of steel plate shear wall with PEC columns are analyzed using ABAQUS. Finally, the failure mode, hysteretic behavior, skeleton curve, and bearing capacity of steel plate shear wall with PEC columns are obtained. The results show that PEC columns have a good anchoring effect on the diagonal tension field and can fully exert the plasticity of the infill steel plate, so that steel plate shear wall with PEC columns has superior seismic performance. Experiments also reveal that the crack type of damages appear in a steel plate shear wall with PEC columns, and, as a future work, the authors will explore the use of structural health monitoring methods, such as piezoceramic transducer-based method, to monitor such cracks.

Corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) is one of the lateral resistance systems which consists mainly of steel frame (beam and column) with vertical or horizontal corrugated steel plate connected to the frame by weld, bolts or both. This type of steel shear wall characterized by low cost and short construction time with high strength, ductility, initial stiffness and excellent ability to dissipate energy. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of corrugation angle and its direction on the performance of CSPSW under cyclic loading. The Finite element analysis was employed to achieve the research aim. The FE models were validated with experimental data available in the literature. Results reveal that the corrugation angle has a clear influence on initial stiffness, strength, ductility, and energy dissipation of CSPSW. The optimum performance of CSPSW can be obtained with angles of 30o for CSPSW with vertical corrugation and 20o for CSPSW with horizontal corrugation. The use of CSPSW with vertical corrugation provides higher strength, stiffness, and ductility compared to CSPSW with horizontal corrugation. Therefore, it is recommended to use CSPSW with vertical corrugation.

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.
