Abstract: The vertically stiffened steel plate shear wall (SPSW) with twoside constraints is a kind of new structural form. To reveal the synergistic effect mechanism between steel frame and wall, and then look for reasonable stiffness match between the steel walls, beams and columns, two threebay threestory models (1∶3 scale) were studied experimentally under cyclic quasistatic loading. The component failure mechanisms were summarized. Besides, the influences of different SPSW layouts on the structural system were investigated. The results show that the vertically stiffened SPSW with twoside constraints has better seismic performance, and such structural form is particularly suitable for areas with high seismic intensity.

Key words: twoside constraints, vertically stiffened, steel plate shear wall (SPSW), cyclic loading, seismic behavior
