LARGE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR AND COLLAPSE MODE OF RECTANGULAR CORRUGATED STEEL SHEAR WALLS

Abstract

 Recent years, corrugated plate is used as seismic resistance elements. But buckling of corrugated plate is generally avoided because of its complexity at the stage of structural design. In this paper, large deformation behavior of corrugated plate is clarified by numerical analysis and past studies for elastic buckling of corrugated plate. It seems that this knowledge enables us to design corrugated plate with collapsing through buckling. And at the end of this paper, the way of designing corrugated plate is suggested by using performance evaluation and knowledge of buckling mode.
