Numerical prediction of the non-linear behaviour of perforated metal shear panels

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are innovative systems able to confer to either new or existing structures a significant capacity to resist earthquake and wind loads. Many tests have shown that these devices may exhibit high strength, initial stiffness and ductility, as well as an excellent ability...
