This paper summarizes the results of in-plane cyclic testing of three steel-plate composite(SC) walls with boundary elements. The tests were executed in the laboratory of the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE) in Taiwan. Thick steel plates were used as the boundary elements of the three specimens. To study two different failure modes, we tested:(1) two shear-critical walls with an aspect ratio of 0.75 and boundary element thickness of 3 cm, and(2) one flexure-critical wall with an aspect ratio of 1.22 and boundary element thickness of 2 cm. The failure mode and cyclic behavior of each specimen is reported. The test results are compared with the recommendations of AISC N690s1 and predictions from selected literature. The impact of aspect ratio on in-plane shear strength of SC walls with boundary elements is discussed. |
