The overall seismic performance of steel plate shear walls, including unstiffened SPSW, cross-stiffened SPSW, and SPSW with opening, SPSW with slits and holes, under low cyclic loading were tested. Contrastive analyze their hysteretic curve, loading capacity, lateral stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation coefficient. Results indicate that the unstiffened SPSW seem to be with high resistance lateral stiffness and carrying capacity; however its hysteretic curve show pinch effect obviously. When cross-stiffener was set on unstiffened SPSW, the resistance lateral stiffness and loading capacity can be significantly improved. However, the pinch effect of hysteretic curve does not distinctly change. The resistance lateral stiffness and loading capacity of SPSW with holes and slits is lower, however hysteretic curve is full. In addition, the energy dissipation capacity and the phenomenon which the thin steel plate shear wall shows the zero stiffness even negative stiffness at the point of zero displacement under cyclic loading are dramatically improved.

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.

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.

Abstract Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) as a resistant system against lateral loads have a high potential for earthquake energy dissipation. Due to the uncertainties of loading, construction, and installation of SPSWs, it is vital to investigate the importance of each component and achieve higher accuracy in design and the implementation of these members. In this paper, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the significance of important uncertainties. The results denoted that the most important parameters affecting the loading capacity of the SPSWs are height, thickness, length, Young’s modulus of the wall material, flange, and web thickness of the column, respectively.

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.

Ductility Ratio

The thin unstiffened steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system has now emerged as a promising lateral load resisting system. Considering performance-based design requirements, a ductility-based design was recently proposed for SPSW systems. It was felt that a detailed and closer look into the aspect of seismic lateral force distribution was necessary in this method. An investigation toward finding a suitable lateral force distribution for ductility-based design of SPSW is presented in this paper. The investigation is based on trial designs for a variety of scenarios where five common lateral force distributions are considered. The effectiveness of an assumed trial distribution is measured primarily on the basis of how closely the design achieves the target ductility ratio, which is measured in terms of the roof displacement. All trial distributions are found to be almost equally effective. Therefore, the use of any commonly adopted lateral force distribution is recommended for plastic design of SPSW systems.
