This study investigates the effect of type of beam-to-column connections on the overall performance of steel plate shear wall
(SPSW) systems under lateral loading condition. An analytical study using finite-element analysis has been conducted on a twostory
SPSW system with rigid and pinned beam-to-column connections having constant panel aspect ratio and plate slenderness
ratio. All boundary elements are designed as per the current code provisions. The influence of the type of connections between
the web plates and the boundary elements on the overall performance of SPSW systems is also studied. In addition, the behavior
of SPSW system with flexible boundary members along with pinned beam-to-column connections is also investigated under
lateral loading condition. An experimental study has been carried out on a two-story SPSW specimen with flexible boundary
elements to investigate its overall performance under the slow-cyclic loading. Based on the analytical and experimental results,
various design issues of SPSW systems are discussed.
