SHEAR RESISTANCE MECHANISMS ON HIGH-PANELIZED STEEL SHEET SHEAR WALLS WITH BURRING HOLES

Abstract

High-panelized shear walls in which steel sheets with burring holes aligned along the vertical direction are fastened to frame members and are applied to low & mid-rise buildings in seismically active regions. The wall that receives the in-plane shear force allows shear stress to concentrate in intervals between the holes. Finite element analyses and in-plane shear experiments revealed that all intervals between the holes of the wall were simultaneously deformed, and shear buckling areas were limited in the intervals by ring-shaped ribs of the burring holes.
