Abstract: In
this work, our purpose is investigating the behavior of simply supported
steel shear walls under the monotonic and cyclic loading. First, we
applied diagonal direct tensile loading on a small specimen and its behavior
was compared with theoretical results. After that, we applied cyclic
loading on six specimens with various dimensions and the effects of thickness, height
and width have been investigated. Results have shown that, with increasing
height, the drift was enhanced but a small reduction on shear strength was
observed. The comparison of our results with theoretical results confirmed the
validity of model.
