Experimental Investigation and Numerical Simulation of Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Wall Considering the Gravity Load

The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) has high strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity and can be used as the lateral force-resisting system of multi-story and high-rise buildings. The vertical load transmitted by the upper floor and frame columns may inevitably act on the corrugated steel plate shear wall. However, the influence of the gravity load on the performance of the corrugated steel shear wall is not considered in most studies. To investigate the behavior of corrugated steel plate shear walls considering the actual gravity load, four scaled SPSWs under lateral and vertical loading were tested. The specimens’ failure mode, envelope curves, and hysteretic curves were analyzed. A numerical simulation model was established based on the validation of the experimental test on the SPSWs. The results showed that the hysteresis curves of the test were consistent with those of the simulation results. Finally, parametric analysis was conducted on the SPSWs with different types of infill plates, height-to-thickness ratio, and gravity loads.
