Develop the mathematical strip modeling Method of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Reinforced -Concrete Frame with opening parallel to Columns

Abstract

Structural Frame system is considers as an earthquake resisting structural systems. On the other hand, many techniques were used to improve the resistance against lateral loads. where Steel Plate Shear Wall  fixed within frame span is one of those techniques.

This research aims to develop the Strip model of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Reinforced-Concrete Frame with opening parallel to Columns.

This study applied numerical analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) based on Geometrical and Material Non-Linear Analysis (GMNLA). The developed model was built based on the fundamental strip model in the universal codes and Improved models used in research

This study conclude the ability of The developed model to predict the total nonlinear response with a good accuracy, A parametrical study on the effect of the used strip amount and its angel slop on the total nonlinear behavior of the developed strip model was also covered in the final part of this study.
