CYCLIC TEST OF THIN STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALLS
Experimental testing were conducted on 2 one-story single bay thin steel plate shear walls of roughly one-third of full scale, which were subjected to gravity loads at the top of the columns and cyclic horizontal loads at the floor level. These tests provided data on general performance of the walls, which provided the basis for the investigation on the initial stiffness, ductility, energy absorption capacity, load versus displacement envelope, hysteretic characteristics and deformation of the boundary frame elements etc. The experimental results showed that thin steel plate shear wall was an effective lateral load resisting element, which exhibited many desirable characteristics for structures in areas of high seismic risk. These included good displacement ductility capacity and stable hysteretic behavior with desirable energy dissipation characteristics. A thin steel plate shear wall should be designed so that it will respond elastically to a minor seismic event or high wind. During a severe seismic event the plate will deform cyclically and absorb seismic energy, thereby offeringprotection to the more critical elements of the structure such as the building columns.
