Evaluation of Steel Plate Shear Wall Performance with Different Sections and Arrangements of Stiffeners and its Effect on Project Management during Construction and Improvement of the Building
Abstract
Considering the increase in the current construction process and the future needs of Iran, the
necessity to use high-rise buildings for reduction in urbanization costs and optimal use of land will be
inevitable in the future. The performance of steel plate shear wall system as a modern global system,
which has an effective application in high-rise buildings and also brings economic benefits compared
to previous systems, is evaluated in this study. Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) are a new type of
system resistant to wind and earthquake lateral loads, which dates back to the 1970s. In this
research, eight samples of shear wall with various stiffening arrangements and sections with ST37
and ST52 alloys are modeled. To evaluate the nonlinear dynamic analysis, the samples are subjected
to the San Fernando earthquake force and are modeled and analyzed by ABAQUS software based on
the finite element theory. The results of analyzing the samples indicate better performance of the
system with stiffener in both vertical and horizontal directions. Also, the use of sections with ST52
alloy has improved the performance of the shear wall by approximately 40%.
