Abstract

In the past few decades, steel plate shear walls (SPSW) have been used in numerous tall buildings as a resistant system against lateral loads. The perceived advantages of these systems in seismic resistant structures include enhanced stiffness, strength and ductility, and stable hysteretic characteristics. Various researchers have studied the behaviour of SPSW under cyclic loading and proposed different models in order to predict the behaviour of these structures under complex loading conditions. In this paper a new approach based on evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) is proposed, for the prediction of the behaviour of SPSW under cyclic loading using data from laboratory tests on scaled samples of SPSW. It is shown that the EPR model is able to predict the behaviour of SPSW under cyclic loading.
