Experimental Study of Bearing Capacity of Steel Frame with Portal Steel Plate Shear Wall Member

Abstract The steel frame with portal plate shear wall unit presented here is a new structure by assembling the into through bolt connection. For study of resistance and bearing capacity structure, it necessary to conduct experimental research. Three specimens are made here, two geometric shapes case setting stiffeners not considered respectively. concentrated lateral load applied in test displacements strain were measured. results show that element has an obvious effect on improving stiffness frame, failure also shows plastic deformation characteristics. It seen connection no evident or deformation, which means construction effective.
