Abstract
As part of a multi-institutional study of seismic analysis, behavior, design and
performance of the steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system, an integrated
analytical, numerical, and experimental study was conducted on a small-scale, three-story
SPSW-WC specimen. The small-scale specimen’s design was based on the scaling down of one
of the large-scale specimens that will be tested as part of the SPSW-WC program at the
University of Illinois. The concepts of dimensional analysis and similitude were used to scale
down the large-scale specimen. Analytical and numerical models were used to estimate the
small-scale specimen’s ultimate strength and study its behavior under lateral loads. The
experimental study consisted of a cyclic displacement loading test on the small-scale specimen.
The system’s behavior was stable for much of the test, and the specimen was able to undergo
large roof displacements. The analytical, numerical, and experimental results are presented and
discussed.
