Abstract:Nowadays, the use of steel plate shear walls, as an effective seismic resisting system, has been of great interest in enhancing the lateral strength and stiffness of buildings both in renovation and seismic rehabilitation of existing concrete and steel structures. In the present research, the shear strength and stiffness of steel plate shear walls in various configurations of stiffeners, including horizontal, vertical, and horizontal-vertical, were investigated by finite element method and finally semi-empiric… 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.
