“…The comparison between the bearing wall simulation results and the bearing Modeling of diaphragm Leng (2015) concluded that the stiffness of diaphragms contributes greatly to the overall stiffness of 3D models and determines the extent of coupling between shear walls. Per the modeling recommendations in Leng (2015) and Zhang et al(2017b), this study modeled the floor and roof diaphragms as the rigid.…”

“…The archetype can be assembled into performance groups based on their major differences in plan configuration, building height, building occupancy, design gravity, seismic load intensity, etc. This study adopted the office and hotel archetype models in Zhang et al (2017b) for seismic performance analysis. The key archetype design parameters are summarized in Table 5.…”

“…Shear walls with corrugated steel sheets have been a subject of interest for multiple researchers in recent years. These researchers have investigated a wide range of parameters and their effects on the lateral performance of the shear walls such as sheathing and framing thickness (Stojadinovic and Tipping 2007;Yu et al, 2009), fastener size and spacing (Stojadinovic and Tipping 2007), wall aspect ratio (Zhang et al, 2018), opening patterns on corrugated steel sheathing (Yu and Yu 2016;Zhang et al, 2019), gravity loads (Zhang et al, 2017a(Zhang et al, , 2017b, loading method (Zhang et al, 2017a), waveforms of corrugated steel sheets (Liu et al, 2022), energy dissipation bracings (Yu et al, 2021) etc. All the experimental results indicated that shear walls with corrugated steel sheets have the characteristics of high strength and stiffness.…”

To meet the increasing demand for high strength and non-combustible shear wall systems in mid-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) constructions, this paper investigates the seismic performance and design method of an innovative CFS shear wall system with in-frame corrugated steel sheathing based on previous studies. Shear wall and bearing wall specimens with in-frame corrugated steel sheathing are tested under combined lateral and gravity loading. Simplified numerical models of whole archetype buildings are established. The seismic performance evaluation is performed using methodology recommended in FEMA P695 and the seismic performance factors are examined. The test results show that the shear strength of the innovative shear wall is much higher than currently code certified wood-based shear walls in AISI S400. Also, the shear strength of bearing walls is approximately one-third of the shear strength of shear walls, which proves that bearing walls also contribute significant shear resistance in a structure. The seismic performance evaluation results verified that the existing seismic performance factors (R = Cd = 6.5 and [Formula: see text] = 3.0) for CFS shear walls with flat steel sheathings can also be used for the innovative shear wall system. The innovative CFS shear wall system with in-frame corrugated steel sheathing could be employed for mid-rise buildings in areas that are prone to high seismic and wind loads.
