Analysis and design of steel plate walls: analytical model

A simple rational model is developed in this paper to determine the structural behavior of steel plate wall (SPW) systems, and is referred to as the Modified Plate–Frame Interaction (M-PFI) model. The model considers bending and shear behavior, and the interaction of the two, for the SPW system. It is a modification of the Plate–Frame Interaction (PFI) model that only considers the shear response of the SPW system. The proposed M-PFI model can determine force and displacement values that correspond to the pre- and post-critical buckling state, the yield state, and the ultimate capacity of individual panels. In the end, design requirements for the beams and columns (also known as horizontal and vertical boundary elements) of the SPW are derived using the underlying theory of the M-PFI model.
