Experimental Study on Two-side Constraint Steel Plate Shear Wall with Vertical Stiffeners

摘要

Two two-side constraint steel plate shear wall specimens with vertical stiffeners had been tested under low cyclic loading to study its seismic performance through the performance indexes of the Initial stiffness, hysteretic behavior, load-carrying capacity, destruction mechanism and so on. Test showed that as main lateral force resisting members two-side constraint steel plate shear wall with vertical stiffeners had a very superior seismic performance. So it is worth popularizing in the area of high seismic intensity.
