A steel-plate composite(SC) wall is composed of steel faceplates, infill concrete, and connectors. The faceplates are joined with steel tie rods that ensure structural integrity. Steel studs are welded to the faceplates to ensure composite behavior. This paper summarizes the results of in-plane cyclic tests of four SC walls. The flexure-critical wall piers are 2m long and 1m high. The faceplates are embedded in the foundation and connected to the foundation concrete using shear studs and transverse reinforcement. The influence of infill reinforcement ratio and the wall-foundation connection is studied. The test results confirm the effectiveness of the analytical method of Epackachi et al. in predicting the in-plane monotonic behavior of low aspect-ratio SC wall piers. |
