Pseudo Dynamic Test and Analysis of A Full Scale Two-Story Steel Plate Shear Wall Substructure

The purposes of this research combined experimental and analytical investigation on the seismic responses of SPSW structures include:(1) investigate the seismic performance of a full scale two-story steel panel shear wall structure,(2) investigate the capacity design criteria of the boundary beam and column elements surrounding the steel panels,(3) investigate the effectiveness and seismic design of the lateral restrainers for the SPSW,(4) validate the TensionOnly material implemented for the PISA3D in simulating the responses of the SPSW structure,(5) incorporating the PISA3D into the networked substructure pseudo-dynamic tests of the 2-story SPSW structure,(6) investigate the seismic performance of the RBS connections in the SPSW specimen.
