Title: Experimental and analytical study of composite steel plate shear walls connected to frame beams only
Abstract: The experimental results of composite steel plate shear walls and steel plate shear walls connected to frame beams only were presented.The influences of concrete panels and height-to-thickness ratio of steel plate were studied.Meanwhile,the finite element software ANSYS was applied to develop the model.The behavior of composite steel plate shear walls was analyzed.The experimental results show that both steel plate shear walls and composite shear walls have good ductility.In composite steel plate shear walls,the concrete panels resist its out-of-plane deformation and make the steel plate shear wall work in plane.Thus the bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity increase evidently.When the concrete panel thickness is over a special value,the out-of-plane deformation of steel plate can be fully restrained.The bearing capacity of composite steel plate shear wall mainly relies on the span-to-height ratio of steel plate.
