Linked mathematical–informational modeling of perforated steel plate shear walls

Abstract

Steel plate shear walls have come to be considered as an appropriate system for resisting lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind, especially in tall structures, for their flexible, energy dissipation and suitable post-buckling behaviors. This paper presents prediction ways for the mechanical behavior of shear walls. In this study, two different methods are suggested to consider the intricate hysteretic behavior of perforated shear walls. To use the benefits of both mathematical and informational presentations, a novel method, a linked modeling skeleton, is created and demonstrated through representing the complex behavior of perforated shear walls.
