Hello Everyone,

What are the challenges in the construction of SPSW core in a RC structural system? Is there sufficient research on this kind of structure subjected to earthquake/ wind? How are the moment connections provided between steel and RC structural components?

​AISC has developed several good documents on Steel Plate Shear Walls that are worth reviewing.

There may be others.  I have not designed using them, but my understanding is that they were developed primarily for lateral load resistance (seismic/wind).

The nuclear industry has developed another composite shear wall design using steel plates.
