Abstract

Despite many advantages of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system, such as lightness, high stiffness, ductility, and fast implementation, this system is not as pervasive as other lateral load resisting systems such as bracing or reinforced concrete shear walls. To solve this problem, numerical parametric studies of system with consideration of seismic uncertainties which needs accurate non-linear models including behavioral deterioration of system is necessary. So, in this paper, besides studying existing macroscopic modeling of steel plate shear walls, a new model is introduced which is modified version of Strip model’s application with focusing on stress-strain curve proposed by one of researchers. After suggesting essential adjustments in this model and showing their necessities with emphasizing on experimental and finite element results, correctness of new model by doing several finite element analysis in different models with various plate thickness and length to height ratio is verified and proper values for parameters is proposed.
