Experimental/Numerical Evaluation of Steel Trapezoidal Corrugated Infill Panels with an Opening

This paper investigates the influence of an opening in infill steel plate on behavior trapezoidal corrugated panels. Two specimens shear walls were constructed and tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had a single rectangular opening, while other one two openings. In addition, percentage both was 18%. The initial stiffness, ultimate strength, ductility ratio energy dissipation capacity are compared to without opening. experimental results indicate that existence has greatest effect stiffness reveal structural performance with openings is improved some areas To end, obtained larger than Furthermore, number numerical analyses performed. show increasing thickness or using stiffeners around strength panel can be equal even more
