Improving the behavior of high performance steel plate shear walls using Low Yield Point steel

Abstract

In this study, High Performance Steel Plate Shear Wall (HPSPSW) were properly determined using numerical and paramedical approaches. The properties of HPSPSW and LYP (Low Yield Point) steel (LHPSPSW) were measured. In so doing, 27 numerical models were analyzed and evaluated. The numerical results indicated that the SPSW has a higher stiffness, ultimate strength, and energy absorption than HPSPSW. Also, it was shown that LHPSPSW exhibits higher properties compared to SPSW and HPSPSW in both elastic and inelastic zones. It was also concluded that using LYP in HPSPSW enhances the seismic parameters of the system (stiffness, energy absorption, ultimate strength).
