Abstract: Collapse evaluation of composite plate shear walls (C-PSWs) under seismic loading requires a reliable analytical model that can accurately capture deterioration in the strength and stiffness of the system. In this study, ...

Abstract: Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) often need to accommodate rectangular openings in their infill plates. When subjected to lateral loadings, such as wind and earthquake, unstiffened SPSWs with rectangular openings may ...
