ABSTRACT

Steel plate shear wall systems are currently utilized in resisting seismic loading in multistory buildings within seismic prone regions. They consist of infill plates that are bounded by a surrounding frame. Nonlinear push over and cyclic analyses were carried out to study different forms and configurations of horizontal trapezoidal corrugated steel plate shear walls, namely singly corrugated, doubly corrugated as well as perforated corrugated steel plate shear walls. A finite element model was developed for a horizontal trapezoidal corrugated steel single plate shear wall (OPSW) using Abaqus software. It was validated. Thereafter, while maintaining the original overall properties, a parametric study was carried out to investigate the effect of changing plate thickness, plate width/height ratio, deeper corrugations, providing double plates, as well as perforations on the seismic behavior of steel plate shear walls. The paper aims at achieving a better understanding of the main parameters that control the optimum performance of the horizontal trapezoidal corrugated steel shear walls. Few studies have discussed this matter, so the current study comes to fill the gap. It is concluded that double horizontal trapezoidal corrugated plate shear walls (DPSW) are very efficient shear wall systems. They experience stable hysteretic cyclic loops. They have higher shear stiffness, higher buckling load, and higher ultimate strength as well as higher residual strength than OPSW. They also experience higher ductility and more energy dissipation compared to OPSW. Perforations were found to reduce the contribution of the corrugated plate shear wall in resisting the seismic forces, as well as the subsequent reduction of the wall strength and stiffness.
