Cyclic Performance of Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls with Beam-Only-Connected Infill Plates

Lately, Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls (CSPSWs) have gained significance and reputation for being effective lateral force-resisting systems. plates are characterized by greater out-of-plane stiffness buckling stability than flat plates, ensuring their enhanced hysteretic behavior. In ordinary (SPSWs), infill fixed to beams columns. But, detaching the plate from columns connecting it only is assumed here as a method reducing column demands. The current study explores cyclic performance of CSPSWs with beam-only-connected plates. design one-story single-bay specimen was done its finite element model developed. Parametric studies targeted different geometric variables, including orientation, thickness, aspect ratio plate. Noteworthy responses were ultimate strength, initial stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, force-deformation relationship. obtained results indicated that selecting right geometrical parameters could yield desirable performance. Finally, an analytical proposed calculating shear strength CSPSWs.
