Analytical Study for Performance Evaluation of Studs for Steel Plate Concrete(SC) Walls subjected to Cyclic Loads

response of coupled-precast shear walls subjected to cyclic loads

large panel precast structures are analyzed based on the connection rigidity. however, the connections undergo nonlinear and inelastic response, when subjected to seismic loads. thus, to study the actual behavior of structure, the connection nonlinearity should be implemented in the joints. in this paper, three conventional connection types are modeled based on the envelope of their cyclic resp...

Performance of Polymer-encased Concrete Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

Cyclic Testing of Light-Gauge Steel Plate Shear Walls

This paper describes the prototype design, specimen design, experimental set-up, and experimental results of tests on three light-gauge steel plate shear wall (SPSW) concepts. Prototype light-gauge steel plate shear walls are designed as seismic retrofits for a hospital structure in an area of high seismicity and emphasis is placed on minimizing their impact on the existing framing. Three singl...

experimental study of steel plate shear walls with composite steel infill platesunder cyclic loading

in this paper, nonlinear behavior of composite steel plate shear wall systems, in which steel infill plate is strengthened by fiber reinforced polymer (frp) layers, are experimentally investigated. tests are designed to evaluate the effect of glass-frp layers, layers number of gfrp and orientation of gfrp layers on the stiffness, shear strength, cumulative dissipated energy and other seismic pa...

Behavior of Steel-Sheathed Shear Walls Subjected to Seismic and Fire Loads.

A series of tests was conducted on six 2.7 m × 3.7 m shear wall specimens consisting of cold-formed steel framing sheathed on one side with sheet steel adhered to gypsum board and on the opposite side with plain gypsum board. The specimens were subjected to various sequences of simulated seismic shear deformation and fire exposure to study the influence of multi-hazard interactions on the later...
