Cyclic Performance of Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls with Beam‐Only‐Connected Infill Plates

Abstract

Lately, Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls (CSPSWs) have gained significance and reputation for being effective lateral force-resisting systems. Corrugated plates are characterized by greater out-of-plane stiffness and buckling stability than flat plates, ensuring their enhanced hysteretic behavior. In ordinary Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs), infill plates are fixed to beams and columns. But, detaching the infill plate from columns and connecting it to the beams only is assumed here as a method for reducing column demands. The current study explores the cyclic performance of CSPSWs with beam-only-connected infill plates. The design of a one-story single-bay specimen was done and its finite element model was developed. Parametric studies have targeted CSPSWs with different geometric variables, including orientation, thickness, and aspect ratio of the infill plate. Noteworthy responses were ultimate strength, initial stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, and force-deformation relationship. The obtained results indicated that selecting the right geometrical parameters could yield a desirable cyclic performance. Finally, an analytical method was proposed for calculating the ultimate shear strength of beam-only-connected CSPSWs.

A Comprehensive Review of Recent Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Impact of Openings in Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs)

“…These types of plates have several advantages, including increased ductility, strength, and stiffness, compatible hysteretic characteristics, and a substantial ability to absorb plastic energy [5,[10][11][12] . As Compare to unstiffened SPSWs, the stiffened SPSW will have more initial stiffness, shear strength, and significant ductility [13] . A vertical cantilever plate girder can be considered a shear wall frame made of steel plates, with the floor beams acting as transverse stiffeners, the columns functioning as flanges, and the steel plates acting as the web [14] .…”

Analysis and design of a novel segmented energy absorbing steel plate shear wall system

“…To make reparation somewhat easier and to reduce the force demand on the vertical boundary elements (columns), Guo et al (2011) and Ozcelik and Clayton (2017) proposed detaching the vertical edges of the plate from the columns. Hajimirsadeghi et al (2019) recommended the use of modular steel plate panel for their SPSW system, and Ghodratian-Kashan and Maleki (2021) introduced the use of corrugated steel plate shear wall connected only to the horizontal boundary elements (beams) as an effective lateral load resisting system.…”
