Abstract:Steel–concrete composite (SC) shear walls are being widely used as an alternative to reinforced concrete walls. Investigations on seismic behavior of SC walls have been conducted to develop design specifications for safety-related nuclear facilities. However, there is a lack of hysteretic models that can be used to predict structural performance as the structure approaches collapse. This paper presents (a) the analysis of experimental results of 32 SC wall specimens, and (b) the derivation and calibration of a quadri-linear backbone with negative post-peak stiffness and associated hysteretic r
