Behavioural Comparison of Geometrically Different Steel Plate Shear Walls

Abstract

Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) have been used as efficient and widely constructed primary lateral force resisting system particularly in areas of high seismic hazard in several modern and important structures. Significant strength, ductility and initial stiffness at relatively low cost and short construction are the primary motivations for the construction type. This paper is an investigation on the behavioural comparison of geometrically different SPSWs under quasi static cyclic and monotonic loading condition. The overall seismic performance of a Steel Plate Shear Wall depends upon geometrical properties of the boundary elements as well as the infill plates. Here a Parametric study conducted on geometrically different Steel Plate Shear Walls for the detailed investigation on the seismic performance of the SPSW system by changing the geometric properties of the infill plate. Geometric differences are provided by using unstiffened steel plate, stiffened steel plate, unstiffened shear panels with openings and stiffened shear panels with openings as infill plate and providing different configuration of stiffeners for the Steel Plate Shear Walls system.
