Abstract
Corrugated steel plate composite shear walls are among the modern systems for strengthening and load-bearing in structures, combining concrete and steel to enhance seismic performance and increase resistance against lateral loads. This study investigates the impact of various parameters on the performance of corrugated steel plate composite shear walls with openings. For this purpose, an experimental composite shear wall with corrugated steel plates is initially validated. Subsequently, sensitivity analysis is then performed on the dimensions and types of elements used in the analysis. 32 numerical models in three types are analyzed to examine the effects of geometric shape and size of the openings, thickness and orientation of the corrugated steel plates, and the magnitude of axial compressive load. To identify the optimal model, seismic parameters such as stiffness, strength, ductility, and energy absorption capacity are evaluated. The results reveal that utilizing corrugated steel plates with vertical corrugations and circular openings significantly enhances the stiffness, ultimate strength, and energy absorption capacity of the wall. Furthermore, a relative increase in axial compressive load up to a certain limit improves these parameters. However, the highest ductility was observed when the axial compressive load ratio was 0.2.
