As a kind of new lateral resistance member, buckling restrained steel plate shear walls (BRSPSWs) possess good ductility and energy dissipation ability, which begin to be used in buildings. In the use of BRSPSWs, it is hard to simulate BRSPSWs in high-rise buildings using shell elements due to convergence problems. Hence, a simplifi ed analysis model for BRSPSWs is needed by engineers. In this paper, the fi nite element analysis of BRSPSWs under cyclic loads was done. The available experimental results are applied to validate the accuracy of fi nite element analysis results. Then the behavior of typical BRSPSW under cyclic loads is analyzed. Also, the infl uence of bolt distance, reinforced concrete (RC) panels’ thickness, height-to-thickness ratio and span-to-height ratio of steel plate on the hysteretic behavior of BRSPSWs is studied. The analytical results show that the bolt distance and RC panel thickness have obvious infl uence on the energy dissipation ability. At last, a simplifi ed model is proposed, which can be used to simulate the hysteretic behavior of BRSPSWs instead of shell element in high-rise buildings.
