Computational simulation and analytical development of Buckling Resistant Steel Plate Shear Wall (BR-SPSW)
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an attractive option for lateral load resisting systems for both new and retrofit construction. They, however, present various challenges that can result in very thin web plates and excessively large boundary elements with moment connections, neither of which is …

ANALYSIS AND BEHAVIOR OF SEGMENTED ENERGY ABSORBING STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALLS (SEA-SPSWs)
<p>Conventional steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are often designed to behave elastically under normal lateral load condition. However, they are expected to yield and absorb energy through inelastic hysteresis under extreme load condition. Depending on the width-to-thickness ratio and boundary …

Experimental Study of Ring-Shaped Steel Plate Shear Walls
A new type of steel plate shear wall has been devised which resists out-of-plane buckling without requiring stiffeners. The ring-shaped steel plate shear wall (RS-SPSW) includes a web plate that is cut with a pattern of holes leaving ring-shaped portions of steel connected by diagonal links. The …

Computational Investigation of Tunable Steel Plate Shear Walls for Improved Seismic Resistance
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are popular lateral force resisting systems whose practical applications range from high seismic regions to medium and low seismic areas and wind load applications. The factors which make SPSW attractive include its energy dissipation capacity, excellent ductility, …

Large-Scale Cyclic Testing and Development of Ring Shaped - Steel Plate Shear Walls for Improved Seismic Performance of Buildings
A novel shear wall system for building structures has been developed that improves upon the performance of conventional steel plate shear walls by mitigating buckling. The new structural system, called the Ring Shaped - Steel Plate Shear Wall, was investigated and developed through experimental and …

Study of the seismic behavior of steel plate shear walls with coupling through analysis and testing of a small-scale model
… behavior, design and performance of the steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system, an integrated analytical, numerical, and experimental study was conducted on a small-scale, three-story SPSW-WC specimen. The small-scale specimen’s design was based on the scaling down of one …

Behavior and large-scale experimental testing of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Coupling
The Steel Plate Shear Wall with Coupling (SPSW-WC) configuration is an extension of the conventional Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) seismic lateral force resisting system. The SPSW system is composed of a steel frame with web plates between the beams and columns. In North America, the web plates of …
