Abstract— In some areas with the probability of chemical
attacks such as near the sea or oil refinery, steel plate shear
walls (SPSWs) may be affected by corrosion and after a
while gets loss of efficiency. In present study, the effect of
web plate corrosion on pushover behavior of a single SPSW
is investigated. For this purpose, experimental tests were
conducted on SPSW specimen whose web plate corroded
according to ASTM B117 and also on uncorroded specimen
for comparison. The specimens were subjected to pushover
loading and performances of the SPSWs were evaluated.
The results show that the corrosion has a significant effect
on the behavior of the SPSWs such as initial stiffness and
shear capacity. 
