“…The application of this system compared to reinforced concrete shear wall (RCSW) system has increased in the past few decades, due to some advantages, such as lower weight, cost-effectiveness, and proper performance [5], which make some designing codes to add it as a suitable lateral load-bearing system [6,7]. SPSW diminished the amount of steel in the construction of new buildings and it is lighter than the RCSW system [8,9]. Moreover, as a retrofitting technique, SPSW can be easily installed in critical parts of the buildings [10,11].…”
