Design of ordinary shear wall is generally elastic design basis without buckling or yield against design shear load. On the other hand, when shear wall with low yield strength steel is used for histeretic damper, plastic shear buckling strength and shear strength from tension-field ac tion has to be considered. In this study, in order to investigate the histeretic behavior of shear wall with low yield strength and stiffner rib, FEM elastic and pseudo-nonelastic buckling and elasto plastic analysis are carried out. The results are verified by cyclic sfear loading tests and presented the modeling of the histeresis loop of shear wall with low-yeeld steel.
