Abstract

This paper numerically studies the effect of the width-to-thickness ratio of inclined strips on the behavior of a novel slotted steel plate shear wall (SPSW). The slotted SPSW consists of horizontal and vertical boundary elements (BEs) and two inclined-slotted plates (ISPs) connected by high-strength steel bolts. The directions of the slots in each infill plate are opposite. Steel bolts are used to connect the two infill plates through the created holes at the intersection of each inclined slot. This paper numerically examined four slotted steel shear walls with different width-to-thickness ratios of strips. The research showed that when the slotted steel shear walls were put under cycling loading, the inclined steel strips on one side of the wall were placed in tension; however, the strips on the other side undoubtedly were in compression. Additionally, the study showed that when the width-to-thickness ratio of strips was properly used, the strength, stiffness, and energy absorption capabilities of slotted SPSWs were significantly increased, whereas the out-of-plane displacement was minimized by 40.00 %.
