Abstract：In order to study the effects of the ribbed grid buckling-restrained components on the seismic behavior of steel plate shear wall structure, three-story one-bay specimens of steel plate shear wall structures with and without buckling-restrained components, respectively, were tested under the quasi-static load. The hysteretic behavior, failure mode, energy dissipation, bearing capacity, and stiffness of the two types of structures are analyzed and compared. The results show that the ribbed grid buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall structures exhibit excellent energy dissipation capacity and can obviously improve the shrinkage of hysteretic loop; it also can greatly lessen the noise and tremor of panels. The damages of the structure appear to be the local buckling of panels in cells and in edge areas. Compared to the specimens without buckling-restraint, the bearing capacity and energy dissipation of the specimens with buckling-restrained components may increase by 24% and 20%, respectively, but the ductility coefficient may decrease by 28%.
