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.
