“…The Ring Shaped -Steel Plate Shear Wall (RS-SPSW) is a novel structural system that can bring an industrial or modern feel to a building while also improving upon conventional SPSW performance [14]. The RS-SPSW system can act as both the lateral load resisting system and as an architectural element.…”

“…This eliminates slack, or buildup of material, in the transverse (compression) direction. Slack material along the compression diagonal is one way to think about the cause of shear buckling and it has been shown that the ring shape is capable of preventing this shear buckling [14]. For a solid plate subjected to a tension elongation, δ 1 (Figure 7b), the transverse shortening, δ 2 is approximately equal to δ 1 multiplied by the Poisson's ratio, which is 0.3 for steel.…”

Journal of Architectural Engineering Technology AbstractHistorical precedent shows that advancements in structural engineering technology can facilitate novel architectural forms. Consideration of a recently conceived shear wall panel through an aesthetic lens prompted the authors to investigate the potential of the panel as an architectural design element and as a tool for collaboration between architects and engineers. The innovative shear panels, called Ring Shaped -Steel Plate Shear Walls (RS-SPSW), are characterized by a pattern of circular rings cut into a solid web plate. The resulting shear wall panel has a strong presence as a sculptural object, acts as a visual screen and defines spatial boundaries while providing lateral load resistance. This study develops this shear wall type into an architectural design element by identifying the variables in the shear wall panel design, creating a common vocabulary that encourages architect/ engineer collaboration, and outlining a design method based on the interior design vision. The design methodology addresses what elements can be modified, and to what degree, while preserving structural performance. A sample narrative explores the use of the proposed vocabulary to showcase how this new piece of architectural technology can be used to foster a more integrated and collaborative design process resulting in a contemporary interior space.

“…In [23], on the basis of the experimental tests carried out by Egorova et al [24], a numerical model on a steel plate with a pattern of holes leaving ring-shaped portions of steel connected by diagonal links was developed. The dissipative capacity of the system was guaranteed by the plastic mechanism activated when steel circular rings deformed into ellipses; moreover the presence of the diagonal links allowed the mitigation of possible out-of-plane buckling.…”

“…Weakening of the infill plate have also been tried by creating a regular pattern of circular perforations (Roberts and Sabouri-Ghomi, 1992;Vian et al, 2009), or by using low yield point (LYP) steel plates (Vian et al, 2003). Researchers have also tried to change the load carrying mechanism in the infill plate by providing slits (Hitaka and Matsui, 2003;Cortés and Liu, 2011) or by cutting out special patterns on the wall (Egorova et al, 2014). Application of these passive methods has resulted in reducing the lateral forces acting on the columns but not eliminating them, and often requiring additional material and labour costs, and increased construction time.…”

Abstract:To date, the design of unstiffened steel shear walls has three issues that make them expensive to employ: 1) large columns resulting from the shear wall applying lateral loads to the columns; 2) expensive field-welded moment connections; 3) buckling of the steel plate under service earthquakes and winds. A new, innovative system, called the high-performance steel shear wall system, is developed and proposed by the authors to solve these problems. In this system: 1) the steel plate shear wall is not connected to the columns, therefore, the columns do not experience large lateral forces; 2) the beam-to-column connections consist of an innovative and cost-effective connection developed by the authors, referred to as a gusset plate moment connection; 3) the thickness of the plate is independent of the column size, enabling the use of thicker plates to prevent buckling of the steel plate under service loads.Keywords: steel shear wall; structural engineering; earthquake engineering; design of steel structures; seismic design; moment connections; gusset plate; performance-based design; design for wind; tall buildings; welds; bolts; steel construction; retrofit of buildings; modular construction.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Qian, X. and Astaneh-Asl, A.
