An Experimental Study of a Novel Type of Steel Plate Shear Wall with Diagonal Tension Field Guiding Stiffeners
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes a new kind of steel plate shear wall that can withstand lateral forces.The shear wall's corners were reinforced with inclined stiffeners that served as tension field guiding stiffeners, and a middle link beam was constructed like an eccentrically braced frame (EBF).After the diagonal members were added to the shear wall, the system looked like an EBF system combined with a steel plate shear wall system.A scaled specimen of the shear wall with guiding stiffeners was constructed and subjected to cyclic loading to examine the cyclic performance of the system.In the suggested system, the guiding stiffeners can change the form of the tension field of the web plate, leading plastic stresses away from the column face toward the link beam.This helps to keep the columns and connections safe.As a result, two-stage ductile fuses are contained in the failure mechanism of the proposed system.The first fuse is the yielding of the web plate in tension, and the second fuse includes flexural or shear plastic hinges of the link beam ends.The placement of the plastic hinges could be specified by altering the orientation of the diagonal stiffeners.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
