Abstract
Steel plates with opening have been widely used in various structures, including buildings, bridges, ocean platforms, and industrial equipment. In addition, corrosion can cause an opening on the surface of steel panels. The shear capacity of steel panels is the most important performance utilized by steel structures, such as the steel plate shear wall. This capacity can be significantly deteriorated by these openings. Hence, this study investigated the shear capacity of steel panels with multiple openings. The influence of opening position and shape, panel thickness, and material strength were evaluated. An analytical method for predicting the shear capacity of panels with multiple openings was proposed. The accuracy of the proposed method was validated by experimental and numerical results.
