Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are efficient options for lateral load-resisting systems in
buildings. However, introducing opening (s) in the SPSWs results in a significant drop in …

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are being increasingly used as a lateral load resisting
mechanism in buildings, particularly in highly seismic zones. Their lighter weight compared …

Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) with and without stiffeners, due to excellent seismic
performance, are considered as a lateral load resisting system. Stiffeners have widely been …

Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) consist of thin infill steel plates attached to beams and
columns in steel frames. SPSW are efficient lateral load resisting systems and can act as an …

Structural buildings such as steel and reinforced concrete frames usually include doors and
windows on the front or back facades, interior to the open areas. This; should be arranged to …

The use of steel shear walls has been considered as a lateral load-bearing system in tall
buildings. The significant advantage of Composite Steel Plate Shear Wall (CSPSW) is that …

In the present paper, the behavior of steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with stiffened fullheight
rectangular openings is studied. A series of single and multi-story SPSWs of various aspect …

Unstiffened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have been in use mostly in recent years. In this
numerical study, the buckling behavior of a single-storey single-bay unstiffened SPSW with …

Regarding high ductility and potential of steel plate shear walls in energy absorption, they
are required to be very thin in thickness especially in upper floors of the building in order to …

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are efficient lateral-force resisting systems with high
stiffness, strength, and ductility performances as well as energy-absorption capacity. Proper …
