Theoretical and Experimental Studying on Simply Supported Steel Shear Wall


Abstract eng:
In this study, the behavior of simply supported steel shear walls under monotonic and also cyclic loading has been investigated. Initially a small specimen was loaded with diagonal direct tensile loading and its behavior compared with theoretical results. Then six specimens with various dimensions went through cyclic loading. The effects of height, width and thickness have been studied and it is concluded that the drift enhanced with increasing height while a small reduction on the shear strength was observed. Comparison of test and theoretical results confirms the validity of the models.
