An experimental study was performed to investigate the cyclic behavior of framed steel walls with thin infill plates. Five specimens with a single bay and three stories were tested. Test parameters for the specimens were the plate thickness and the strength and compactness of the column. The test results showed that unlike conventional reinforced concrete walls and braced frames, well-designed steel plate walls exhibited large ductility and energy dissipation capacity as well as high strength.

The nonlinear finite-element analysis of RC members subjected to cyclic loading requires complicated modeling and analytical techniques. In the present study, a simplified nonlinear analytical method using a truss model was developed. In the nonlinear truss model, a RC member was idealized by longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal truss elements. Each element was modeled as a composite element of the concrete and the reinforcing bar. Cyclic stress–strain relationships were developed in order to

A hysteresis model for thin infill steel plates was developed to evaluate the nonlinear cyclic behavior of steel plate shear walls. Nonlinear finite-element analysis was performed for thin steel plates with a rigid boundary frame. Based on the analysis results, the hysteretic behavior of the infill steel plate was simplified as an equivalent uniaxial stress-strain relationship in the direction of tension-field action. The proposed hysteresis model was implemented in macroscopic analysis models f

An experimental study was performed to investigate the cyclic behavior of walls that are composed of reinforced concrete boundary frames and thin steel infill plates. For this purpose, three-story steel plate infilled walls (SPIW) were tested. The parameters in this test were the reinforcement ratio of the columns and opening in the infill plates. A reinforced concrete infilled wall (RCIW) and a reinforced concrete frame (RCF) were also tested for comparison. The deformation capacity of the SPIW

In advanced earthquake analysis/design methods, the cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members, which is characterized by strength, deformability, and the amount of dissipated energy, must be estimated with reasonable precision. However, presently, the amount of dissipated energy is estimated by either empirical equations, which are not sufficiently accurate, or experiments and sophisticated numerical analysis, which are difficult to use in practice. In the present study, nonlinear fini

An experimental study was performed to investigate the axial-flexural load-carrying capacity of concrete-filled steel tube columns encased with thin precast concrete (PC). Six eccentrically loaded columns and one concentrically loaded column were tested. To prevent the premature failure of the concrete encasement, various reinforcement details such as studs, steel fiber, welded wire mesh, and cross ties were used. The maximum axial loads of the specimens agreed with the strengths predicted by cu

Existing experimental results show that carefully designed RC column-to-steel beam (RCS) joints have high seismic resistance comparable to those of traditional steel or RC frames with seismic details. However, such high seismic performance requires complicated and expensive strengthening details, which causes difficulties in fabrication and construction. This study investigated simpler strengthening methods, targeting moderate seismic capacity. Four interior RCS joint specimens were tested under
