An approach for dynamic analysis of steel plate shear wall systems

In this paper, the Timoshenko beam model (continuous system model) is originally adapted for dynamic analysis of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems. Dynamic characteristics first three modes are found by solving differential equation equivalent using transformation method. tabulated quick and practical calculation. With help characteristics, response spectrum such buildings performed. The continuous calculation has been used in literature free vibration Using approach developed study, it possible to calculate not only natural periods, but also base force, maximum storey displacement, drift ratio. method study written according model. To investigate suitability presented an example taken from solved results evaluated. show that can be preliminary design stage.
