Abstract
The composite plate shear walls/concrete-filled (C-PSW/CF) system consists of steel faceplates with concrete infill sandwiched between them. This structural system has garnered international attention, generating interest for its use in nonseismic regions with bolted splices. This paper investigates the shear behavior of C-PSW/CF components with bolted splices through experimental tests and finite-element analyses. Six shear tests were conducted on different splice details, and results were compared with the finite-element models. The study found that AISC strength equations conservatively estimate the ultimate strength of the splices. Additionally, four more finite-element models explored shear behavior in longer wall scenarios. A new formula was proposed to calculate shear strength when the splice is governed by the bearing. This study provides experimental and analytical insights into the shear behavior of bolted C-PSW/CF components.
