This monograph offers a comprehensive study of diagonally stiffened steel plate shear walls, focusing on their mechanical properties, seismic performance, design methods, and simplified modeling. As a key component in lateral force resistance systems, these structures are critical in enhancing the stiffness, strength, and stability of high-rise and seismic-resistant buildings. Through experimental investigations and nonlinear numerical analyses, the book examines the elastic buckling behavior of the walls under diverse loading conditions, failure mechanisms, and hysteretic performance across different reinforcement configurations. It further addresses the global and local buckling mechanisms, bearing capacity, stress and displacement distribution, internal forces in boundary members, and the development of simplified modeling approaches for practical design applications. Diagonally Stiffened Steel Plate Shear Wall: Theory and Design serves as a practical guide for structural engineers seeking to improve design efficiency and project quality. It is also a comprehensive reference for civil engineering faculty members and students, as well as for researchers pursuing new directions in the study of stiffened steel plate shear walls.
