ABSTRACT :
AISC-341 provides requirements for designing of SPSWs by means of a capacity-design method in which
boundary elements are designed for forces corresponding to the fully yield strength of the web plate. In present
research, an explicit dynamic analysis is conducted to a typical multi-storey SPSW designed according to AISC
requirements. The SPSW model is subjected to a base earthquake acceleration record to simulate the time history
response of the structure. The analysis utilizes a finite element method involving both material and geometric
nonlinearities. The energy dissipation and ductility behavior of the structure are investigated through time history
response of the system.
KEYWORDS: Steel Plate, Shear Wall, Transient, Ductility, Energy Dissipation
