Abstract
A novel type of steel plate composite shear wall that was assembled by using a steel plate and precast cement-based concrete plate is presented in this paper. The steel plate shear wall, which differs from normal steel plate shear walls, was trilaterally constrained with an elastic restraint side. The precast concrete slab was designed to prevent steel plate buckling. Six steel plate shear wall specimens were tested by using a hydraulic servo actuator. The failure mode, shear resistance, lateral stiffness, and buckling mode were investigated through an experimental study. The results indicate that the width-thickness ratio of the steel plate affected the shear-carrying capacity and failure mode. A low width-thickness ratio of steel plate required adequate bonding to prevent boundary failure. The precast concrete slabs enhanced the lateral stiffness and improved the buckling strength or shear resistance of the steel plate. The material workable capability of steel plate was fully developed with a composite buckling-restraint by using the composite shear wall; similarly, the earthquake-resistant behavior of the structural system would likewise be enhanced further.
