Abstract
This paper will briefly discuss some of the research that will likely be incorporated into US design codes for the use of steel plate shear wall as seismic load resisting systems. References to numerous research projects carried in the United States, Canada, and other countries will be given and their major findings highlighted. The strip model, developed by others for the representation of SPSW, is described and plastic analysis results for that model and their use in design is discussed. Finally, new directions for SPSW research, including the use of light-gauge and low yield-point steels, strategic hole placement, and reduced beam sections are described in the context of some recently completed and ongoing research.
