Abstract:This paper presents an investigation on the structural performance of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) with flush end-plate beam-column connections and infill precast reinforced concrete (precast RC) panels. Two single-span two-story SPSW specimens, including unstiffened SPSW (NBRP) and precast RC panel restrained SPSW (Con-BRP), are first tested, followed with a parametric study by finite element method. Precast RC cover panels are installed on both sides of the infill steel plate and are disconnected from steel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
