Abstract: Research was conducted to investigate the seismic performance of steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) having infill plates designed to resist different percentages of the applied lateral loads. The FEMA P695 methodology, which ...

Abstract: Assessment of collapse potential and seismic performance was conducted for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) having infill plates designed per two different philosophies. This assessment was first conducted on SPSWs that ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from an investigation of the behavior of unstiffened thin steel plate shear wall (SPSW) having a regular pattern of openings (a.k.a. perforated SPSW). Finite element monotonic pushover analyses ...

Abstract: A case study was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of steel plate shear walls having boundary elements designed by two different philosophies. The first design approach does not guarantee that formation of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparison of analytical and experimental results from an investigation of specially detailed ductile perforated steel plate shear walls (SPSWs). These SPSWs had low yield strength steel infill panels, ...

Abstract: This paper presents insights on the combined contribution of posttensioning and beam-to-column joint rocking connection in self-centering steel plate shear walls (SC-SPSWs). Moment, shear, and axial force diagrams along ...
