Abstract
This paper reports the results of an experimental work to study
the behavior of thin-steel plate shear walls under cyclic loading.
The effects of the thickness of the wall and the presence of
openings, the axial compressive forces in the columns, and the
method of attaching the plate to the surrounding beams and
columns are examined. Analytical models developed to depict
the test results to a good degree of accuracy and the
computational methods are described. Comparisons between the
analytical and experimental results are made. Finally the
behavior of the wall as a component in a building system is
addressed.
