Abstract

Steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is commonly used in civil schemes because of its good deformability and stiffness. In this research, the numerical analysis of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) with unstiffened infill steel plate is conducted. This paper explains the effect of thickness variation of infill steel plate on behavior of steel plate. In this status, several samples are designed and checked by rigid frame and actuator. The experimental samples is joined to a rigid frame. 3 numerical specimens consist of steel plate shear wall with different thickness (1.5, 3, 4. 5) mm formed by finite element code which is advanced by the Amirkabir university. To confirm the model, numerical results were discussed with a valid experiment which explain suitable agreement. Numerical model tested under cyclic loading with frequency of 1/60 Hz. Results show that the increase of infill steel plate thickness enhance stiffness and ductility ratio of model. And so, would decrease energy absorption in comparison with the reference model
