Abstract

Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) are emerging as a highly effective lateral load-resisting system, addressing the growing need for resilient structural solutions in earthquake-prone regions. SPSWs consist of thin steel plates connected to a boundary frame, providing an efficient means of dissipating seismic energy while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike traditional concrete shear walls or braced frames, SPSWs offer enhanced ductility, reducing damage during cyclic loading and ensuring better post-event operability. The adaptability of SPSWs makes them suitable for both low- and high-rise buildings, offering improved safety, reduced repair costs, and faster recovery after seismic events. Additionally, the use of high-strength steel and composite materials has expanded the application of SPSWs, improving performance while reducing construction costs and material weight. SPSWs are also a promising solution for retrofitting existing buildings, improving seismic resilience without extensive reconstruction. Despite their advantages, challenges related to connection design and fabrication precision remain, requiring innovative solutions to optimize their effectiveness. The development of self-centering SPSWs and advanced materials further enhances their potential, making them a key component of modern structural design.
