Quantification Of Seismic Performance Factors Of Steel Plate Shear Wall Systems, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mofid, Masoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
The AISC Seismic Design Provisions now include capacity design requirements for steel plate shear walls,which consist of thin web plates that infill frames of steel beams, denoted horizontal boundary elements)HBEs), and columns, denoted vertical boundary elements (VBEs). The thin unstiffened web plates are expected to buckle in shear at low load levels and develop tension field action, providing ductility and energy dissipation through tension yielding of the web plate. HBEs are designed for stiffness and strength requirements and are expected to anchor the tension field formation in the web plates. VBEs are designed for yielding of web plates and plastic hinge formation at the ends of the...
