Abstract: Thin steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an effective lateral force resisting system and are increasingly being used in structures. Engineers require the ability to predict both elastic and inelastic structural responses ...

Abstract: The strip model, which is currently the most commonly used simplified analytical model for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs), neglects the compressive stiffness and resistance of the infill plate, thus underestimating the ...

Abstract: In a coupled steel plate shear wall, the interaction between two steel plate shear wall piers enabled by the coupling beams improves the overturning capacity of the lateral force–resisting system. Furthermore, the boundary ...
