Experimental Investigation and Numerical Simulation of Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Wall Considering the Gravity Load

The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) has high strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity can be used as the lateral force-resisting system of multi-story high-rise buildings. vertical load transmitted by upper floor frame columns may inevitably act on wall. However, influence gravity performance is not considered in most studies. To investigate behavior walls considering actual load, four scaled SPSWs under loading were tested. specimens’ failure mode, envelope curves, hysteretic curves analyzed. A numerical simulation model was established based validation experimental test SPSWs. results showed that hysteresis consistent with those results. Finally, parametric analysis conducted different types infill plates, height-to-thickness ratio, loads.
