| Abstract |
Steel-plate shear walls offer several advantages to resist lateral forces such as wind and earthquakes. Particularly, the walls are lighter and more ductile as compared with reinforced concrete shear walls. When the walls are used in real construction field, the construction time can be decreased and the usable space can be extended. For the double skin steel panel developed by authors, static tests were conducted. The purposes of the tests are to (1) determine the panel resistance to lateral loading and to (2) examine the panel performance under fully reversed cycles of loading. The sizes of the test specimens are 0.85 by 2.4m, 0.55 by 2.4m, and 0.4 by 2.4m. The empirical formulae on the strength and stiffness of the double skin steel panel are proposed and verified on the basis of the experimental results. The results of the numerical analysis show a similar trend to the experimental results. |
