post-buckling characteristics of web plates. Although the plate girder theory seems appropriate for the design of an SPW structure, a very important difference is the relatively high bending strength and stiffness of the beams and columns that form the boundary elements of the wall. These members are expected to have a significant effect on the overall behaviour of a building incorporating this type of system and several researchers have focused on this aspect of SPWs. The energy dissipating qualities of the web plate under extreme cyclic loading has raised the prospect of using SPSWs as a promising alternative to conventional systems in high-risk seismic regions. A further benefit is that the diagonal tension field of the web plate acts like a diagonal brace in a braced frame and thus completes the truss action, which is known to be an efficient means to control wind drift.

girders, the SPW system optimizes component performance by taking advantage of the post-buckling behaviour of the steel infill panels. An SPW frame can be idealized as a vertical cantilever plate girder, in which the steel plates act as the web, the columns act as the flanges and the cross beams1 represent the transverse stiffeners. The theory that governs the design of plate girders for buildings proposed by Basler in 1960, should not be used in the design of SPW structures since the relatively high bending strength and stiffness of the beams and columns are expected to have a significant effect on the post-buckling behaviour. However, Basler's theory could be used as a basis to derive an analytical model for SPW systems.

369:. Since the early 1980s, his team conducted both analytical and experimental research focused on developing design procedures suitable for drafting design standards (Driver et al., 1997, Thorburn et al., 1983, Timler and Kulak, 1983, and Tromposch and Kulak, 1987). Recent research in the United States by Astaneh (2001) supports the assertion by Canadian academia that unstiffened plate, post-buckling behaviour acts as a capable shear resisting system.

model is then further enhanced by ‘modifying’ the load-displacement diagram to include the effect of overturning moments on the SPW response, hence the given name of the M-PFI model. The method also addresses bending and shear interactions of the plastic ultimate capacity of steel panels, as well as bending and shear interactions of the ultimate yield strength for each individual component, that is the steel plate and surrounding frame.

manner. Conversely, all other structural elements are protected against failure or collapse by limiting the load transfer to these elements to the yield capacity of the fuses. In SPSWs, the infill plates are meant to serve as the fuse elements. When damaged during an extreme loading event, they can be replaced at a reasonable cost and restore the full integrity of the

The theory that governs plate design should not be used in the design of SPW structures since the relatively high bending strength and stiffness of the beams and columns have a significant effect on the post-buckling behavior.

Furthermore, the inelastic deformation capacity of this highly redundant system had not been utilized, also ignoring the significant energy dissipation capability that is of great importance for buildings in high-risk seismic zones. One of the first researchers to investigate the behaviour of SPWs more closely was Kulak at the

However, this model has serious shortcomings when the flexural behavior of an SPSW needs to be properly accounted for, such as the case of a slender tall building.

The strip model represents shear panels as a series of inclined strip elements, capable of transmitting tension forces only, and oriented in the same direction as the average principal tensile stresses in the panel. By replacing a plate panel with struts, the resulting steel structure can be analyzed

Modified Plate-Frame
Interaction (M-PFI) model is based upon an existing shear model originally presented by Roberts and Sabouri-Ghomi (1992). Sabouri-Ghomi, Ventura and Kharrazi (2005) further refined the model and named it the Plate-Frame Interaction (PFI) model. In this paper, the PFI analytical

In comparison with conventional bracing systems, steel panels have the advantage of being a redundant, continuous system exhibiting relatively stable and ductile behaviour under severe cyclic loading (Tromposch and Kulak, 1987). This benefit along with the high stiffness of the plates acting like

In order to overcome this limitation, a general method was developed for the analysis and design of SPWs within different configurations, including walls with or without openings, with thin or thick plates, and with or without stiffeners. This method considers the behavior of the steel plate and

A steel plate shear element consists of steel infill plates bounded by a column-beam system. When these infill plates occupy each level within a framed bay of a structure, they constitute an SPW. Its behaviour is analogous to a vertical plate girder cantilevered from its base. Similar to plate

The strip model is limited mostly to SPSWs with thin plates (low critical buckling capacity) and certain ratios. In the development of this model, no solution has been provided for a perforated SPSW, shear walls with thick steel plates and shear walls with stiffeners. The strip model concept,

Designers pioneering the use of SPWs did not have much experience nor existing data to rely upon. Typically, web plate design failed to consider post-buckling behaviour under shear, thus ignoring the advantage of the tension field and its added benefits for drift control and shear resistance.

From a designer's point of view, steel plate walls have become a very attractive alternative to other steel systems, or to replace reinforced concrete elevator cores and shear wall. In comparative studies it has been shown that the overall costs of a building can be reduced significantly when
