Two two-side constraint steel plate shear wall specimens with vertical stiffeners had been tested under low cyclic loading to study its seismic performance through the performance indexes of the Initial stiffness, hysteretic behavior, load-carrying capacity, destruction mechanism and so on. Test showed that as main lateral force resisting members two-side constraint steel plate shear wall with vertical stiffeners had a very superior seismic performance. So it is worth popularizing in the area of high seismic intensity.

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.

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.

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.

Composite steel plate shear wall (CSPSW), as a new lateral force resisting structure composed of steel plate and concrete slab, is introduced. CSPSWs can fully display the superiority of the steel plate and concrete. Ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the walls are increased and seismic behavior is improved. Recent seismic research around the word of two kinds of CSPSWs, namely, CSPSW with signal steel plate and CSPSW with double steel plates, is presented and discussed comprehensively. Some existing problems in current research of the walls are also reviewed in this paper.

To determine the force mechanism for the steel plate shear wall with slits, the pushover analysis method was used in this study. An estimated equation for the lateral bearing capacity which considered the effect of edge stiffener was proposed. A simplified elastic-plastic analytical model for the stiffened steel slit wall composed of beam elements was presented, where the effects of edge stiffeners were taken into account. The wall-frame analysis model was established, and the geometric parameters were defined. Pushover analysis of two specimens was carried out, and the analysis was validated by comparing the results from the experiment, the shell element model, and a simplified model. The simplified model provided a good prediction of the lateral stiffness and the strength of the steel slit wall, with less than 10% error compared with the experimental results. The mutual effects of the bearing wall and the frame were also predicted correctly. In the end, the seismic performance evaluation of a steel slit wall-frame structure was presented. The results showed that the steel slit wall could prevent the beams and columns from being damaged by an earthquake and that the steel slit wall was an efficient energy dissipation component.
