In this paper, the behavior of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) in the reinforced concrete frame (RCF) has been studied numerically. Three different connections have been proposed to connect SPSW to RCF. In the first connection, fish plates, while in the second one, combination of fish plates and studs transfer forces between SPSW and RCF. In the third connection, there is no direct connection between the infill plate and RCF, and additional steel frame has been used for connecting of the infill plate. The results demonstrate that, load carrying capacity increases in all the specimens comparing the reference RCF. Investigating the formation sequence of plastic hinges in different specimens demonstrates that there is different sequence in the specimens with different connections.

Abstract The residual capacity of a damaged structure after the main earthquake is equal to the smallest spectral acceleration of the first mode, which causes local or general failure during the aftershock. In this research, the effect of steel plate shear wall on residual capacity of the reinforced concrete frame under seismic sequence has been investigated. Based on this, four systems of 4, 8, 12, and 24 stories, which represent short, intermediate, tall, are modeled in finite element software and subject to three sets of single and real seismic sequence, taking into account the damage, the effects of mainshock earthquakes have been analyzed under aftershock earthquakes nonlinear increment dynamic analysis (IDA). The analysis showed that in the real seismic sequence, the residual capacity of a reinforced concrete frame with steel plate shear wall in short and intermediate structures on average 3.6 times and tall structures up to 4.25 times compared to the residual capacity of the reinforced concrete frame without steel plate shear wall. Also, in the real seismic sequence, the residual capacity of the structure decreased with increasing the height of short to intermediate structures and intermediate to tall structures, so that this capacity reduction decreased by an average of 70% in reinforced concrete frame with and without steel plate shear wall.

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.

Abstract Currently, the steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is commonly used in high-rise steel buildings as a lateral load resisting system. The SPSW consists of the boundary frame and infill plate. The objectives of this work are to study the effect of same weight different infill plate types, the effect of boundary frame characteristics, and the effect of infill plate weld separation on the seismic behavior of the SPSWs. A numerical method was proposed to have a comprehensive comparison of seismic behaviors of different types of SPSWs, having the same weight. The model was validated by using previously published numerical and experimental works. The study covers unstiffened (USPSW), stiffened (SSPSW), and corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW). Similarly, the effect of boundary frame stiffness and welding separation characteristics between the plate and boundary frame will be studied, and key issues, such as load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and energy-dissipation capacity were discussed deeply. It was found that the SSPSW has better seismic behavior than USPSW and CSPSW. SSPSW has a higher load-carrying capacity than USPSW, and CSPSW by about 14, 24%, respectively. USPSW is more sensitive to the stiffness of the boundary frame than CSPSW. The plate welding separation has a greater impact on the initial stiffness than load-carrying capacity. When plate-column welding separation occurs, the initial stiffness, and the energy dissipation capacity reduces by about 21%, and 14%. Whereas, when the plate-beam separation occurs, the initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity reduce by about 36%, and 20.5%.

Abstract: The models of un-stiffened, cross stiffened and diagonal stiffened are established by the APDL language of ANSYS, then their reliabilities of stochastic finite element are researched. The result shows that, under the equal seismic forces, the reliability of the three models from childhood in order as is the un-stiffened, the cross stiffened and the diagonal stiffened. And the vertical pressure is the most effective factor toward the three models. Recently years, the study about the steel plate shear wall at home and abroad is almost the research [1,2] of experience and hysteretic performance by the theory combined with experiences. Xianzeng Li [3], who discussed the feasibility of thin steel plate shear wall which is used in the seismic area, studied the stress structure feature and seismic feature of the thin steel plate shear wall under the drab and cyclic loads by finite element. The shear performance under one-way load and the hysteretic performance of the diagonal stiffened were researched deeply by Chunhua Cao [4,5], and the result shows that it’s an excellent part of resisting lateral force with full stability lag circle and high security reserve. In this text, the analysis about the reliability of steel plate spear wall is completed.

RC shear wall with STRC (steel tube-reinforced concrete) columns and embedded steel plate has been proposed and used in the project of an International Conference Center. In order to ascertain the seismic performance of this kind of composite shear walls with different openings in the practical engineering, four 1/7 scale specimens with shear span ration 2.0 were tested under low-frequency cyclic loading. The load-carrying capacity, ductility, stiffness and its attenuation, hysteretic property, energy dissipation capacity and failure mode of the specimens were analyzed. The effect of the embedded steel plate and the concealed steel trusses on the seismic performance of the walls was studied. The results show that the ductility and load-carrying capacity of RC shear wall are improved greatly by setting the embedded steel plate or concealed steel trusses in the wall; The embedded steel plate and the concrete work very well through the stud connectors welded on the steel plate and the tie bars inserted in the walls; The STRC columns have the advantage of higher load-carrying capacity, not easy to crack and better ductility; The new composite shear wall has good seismic performance and important practical value. It is suitable for large and complex application of high-rise buildings in the seismic regions.
