Energy dissipation. Low yield strength (LYS) steel infill panels. Reduced beam sections (RBS). Finite element method (FEM). Connections. Abstract: Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are investigated in ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
