Used for more than three decades as a primary lateral force resisting system, steel plate shear walls are a good choice for a variety of building applications. plate shear walls (SPSW) have been used, to a limited extent, as the primary lateral force resisting system in …

The steel plate shear wall (SPSW) presents a viable structural system to resist lateral forces during earthquakes. A, SPSW is a lateral force resisting system (LFRS) composed of a thin steel web-plate bounded by and attached to a surrounding portal frame.

Design Guide 20 addresses the history and design of steel plate shear walls. The guide includes design procedures and design examples for steel plate shear walls in both high-seismic and R = 3 applications.

design requirements for steel plate shear walls used in both low- and high-seismic applications. This article will discuss the high-seismic applications, focusing on the design requirements and recommendations for the special plate shear wall (SPSW) system as found in the Seismic Provisions and the design guide. The term

A steel plate shear wall (SPSW) (a.k.a. special plate steel wall) is a lateral load resisting system consisting of vertical steel plate infills connected to the surrounding beams and columns and installed in one or more bays along the full height of the structure to form a cantilever wall (Figure 1). SPSWs subjected to cyclic inelastic deformations

In the past two decades the steel plate shear wall (SPSW), also known as the steel plate wall (SPW), has been used in a number of buildings in Japan and North America as part of the lateral force resisting system. In earlier days, SPSWs were treated like vertically oriented plate girders and design procedures tended to be very conservative.

Steel plate shear walls are an innovative lateral load-resist-ing system capable of effectively bracing a building against both wind and earthquake forces. This type of shear wall consists of vertical steel plates—referred to as infill plates—one story high and one bay wide connected to the surrounding beams and columns. The surrounding steel

Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) can be use as a lateral load resisting system for buildings. A typical SPSW (Fig. 1) consists of stiff horizontal and vertical boundary elements (HBE and VBE) and infill plates. The resulting system is a stiff cantilever wall which resembles a …

This book is written by subject experts based on the recent research results in steel plate shear walls considering the gravity load effect. It establishes a vertical stress distribution of the walls under compression and in-plane bending load and an inclination angle of the tensile field strip.

2003年10月15日 · A revised procedure for the design of steel plate shear walls is proposed. In this procedure the thickness of the infill plate is found using equations that are derived from the plastic analysis of the strip model, which is an accepted model for the representation of …
