Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) structures have been widely employed in multistory residential buildings. The traditional welding process may lead to serious deformation due the thinness of plate. In this study, a new is proposed ensure that stiffeners and SPSWs bend as whole, number welds reduced from 3 2. This has better integrity than owing less residual stress deformation. On basis low-cycle...

The cold-formed steel-framed shear wall sheathed with steel sheet is widely used as a lateral force-resisting system for light-framed construction. However, the boundary conditions of screw joint are not clear when screwed to frame. To address this issue, experimental methods have been calculate strength, but these many limiting factors. In study, we investigate structural performance integrate...

Recently, corrugated steel plate shear walls have been shown to be an efficient lateral force resisting system for building structures. Corrugated plates higher out-of-plane stiffness and improved buckling stability in comparison with flat which result hysteretic behavior. However, the thickness of may limited due cold-form process restrictions. This paper investigates cyclic performance double...

Abstract In order to study the parameters of automatic tying equipment for steel skeletons precast shear walls, 19 precast-shear-wall projects and 16,036 precast-shear walls have been explored, with thickness being studied according specifications sleeve diameters, difference between production without edge forms analyzed. The displays that should be able produce wall panels a height 2.5–2.95 m...

This paper presents an ongoing research project on the behavior and design of “hybrid” precast concrete wall structures for use in seismic regions. Hybrid precast walls utilize a combination of mild (e.g., Grade 60) steel and high-strength unbonded post-tensioning (PT) steel for flexural resistance across horizontal joints. The mild steel reinforcement is designed to yield in tension and compre...

A new layered 4-node, 24-degrees of freedom rectangular composite plate element is developed in this paper for nonlinear finite element analyses of FRP-strengthened RC slabs. The layered approach is used to form an integrated plate element for modelling of concrete, FRP, adhesive layer and steel reinforcement with a perfect bond assumption between each layer. Timoshenko’s composite beam functio...
