EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THIN STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALLS WITH OPENING
The hysteretic behavior of thin steel plate shear walls is generally characterized by hysteretic loops that are pinched at the point of zero displacement. Traditionally, in order to avoid the pinch phenomena, more thick panels or heavy stiffeners are needed, which will increase the cost of steel plate shear walls. A new type of earthquake-resisting element, consisting of a thin steel plate shear wall with opening, was conducted. Test results were presented for 2 one-story single bay specimens of roughly one- third of full scale, which were subjected to cyclic lateral loading. In this structural system, opening can reduce the width of infill panel, adjust the stiffness ratio of infill panel to frame in the post- buckling domain and avoid the pinch phenomena. Good energy dissipation and displacement ductility capacity were achieved. The experimental results showed that thin steel plate shear wall with opening was an effective lateral load resisting element.
