Steel plate shear walls in buildings are known to be an effective and strong means for resisting lateral forces. The view of some structural designers is to use heavy stiffeners to reinforce and increase the buckling capacity of shear walls; whereas, if the walls are left unstiffened and allowed to

Seismic design codes generally specify empirical formulae to estimate the fundamental vibration periods of buildings. Currently, most building codes provide the same empirical formula to estimate the fundamental periods for steel plate shear walls and reinforced concrete shear walls. The work presen
The AISC Seismic Design Provisions now include capacity design requirements for steel plate shear walls, which consist of thin web plates that infill frames of steel beams, denoted horizontal boundary elements (HBEs), and columns, denoted vertical boundary elements (VBEs). The thin unstiffened web p
In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of coupled shear wall-frame systems is analyzed. A continuum approach for coupled shear walls with any number of opening rows is used, accounting for shear strain effects in both solid walls and lintel beams. A finite element formulation based on hierarchical sha
