1. IntroductionSteel plate shear walls, as an innovative lateral-load-resisting structural system, are capable of assuming a substantial proportion of lateral loads within a structure. They effectively augment the initial lateral rigidity and horizontal load-bearing capacity of the structure. Functioning as a primary defense mechanism, these shear walls preclude damage to the main structural frame by intercepting and absorbing lateral forces prior to their impact [1,2,3,4,5].
