Trapezoidal corrugated plate behavior on Steel Plate Shear Wall

Abstract

Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Wall (CoSPSW) is a corrugated steel plate used in steel frame structures with shear walls instead of flat plates. Corrugated steel plates are reported to have greater strength than using flat steel plates. This study's specimen model is a one-story steel frame with shear walls using trapezium corrugated plates at an angle of 45°. The analysis was carried out with a finite element analysis using Patran and MSC Nastran software. Structural loading in the form of a monotonic static load with displacement control. The thickness of the corrugated steel plate is varied to analyze the effect of the depth of the corrugated plate on the behavior of the structure. The analysis results of the specimen model indicate that the value of strength, stiffness, and ductility will increase along with the thickness of the corrugated plate. The CoSPSW structure begins to behave in ductile when the corrugated plate's depth is > 2/3 of the cross-section web thickness.
