Risk-Optimal Arrangement of Stiffeners in Steel Plate Shear Walls With Door Opening
Placement of steel plate shear walls (SPSW) in the building cores around the elevators and stairs necessitates door-type openings in these systems.Because of large dimensions of door openings, the energy dissipation capacity drops significantly and thus, the probability of out-of-plane buckling under lateral load increases.Accordingly, introducing
