In earthquake-resistance protection zone, especially the buildings in high earthquake intensity regions, earthquake’s action has been the main factor of structure’s safety. It is important to design reasonable structures to meet the needs of supporting capacity and rigidity under small earthquakes, and energy-dissipation capacity and ductility under moderate, strong earthquakes. These bring high requirement to lateral resisting system.According to the actual engineering demand, referring to the research findings of steel plate shear wall, metallic yield dampers and ultra low yield point steel, a new kind of steel plate shear wall with core part composed of annealed steel plate, which has the low-intensity, high-ductility nature, is presented in this paper.Through annealing experiment of steel plate, 850℃is considered as the best annealing temperature. After annealing heat treatment, the yield strength of the steel plate reduces to the level of Q195 and the plastic performance has greatly been improved.Eleven full scale specimens with the different stiffening ribs and connection mode are tested under the cyclic lateral loads in a quasi-static condition. Based on the test data, properties of the new kind of steel plate shear wall, such as hysteretic performance,energy dissipation property,capacity of ductility are analyzed in the paper. The result indicated as follows: The new kind of steel plate shear wall has the better properties, such as bigger initial rigidity, higher supporting capacity and stronger energy-dissipation capacity; The connection mode that the end of steel plate shear wall is firstly welded onto a piece of steel plate, then connected by high-strength bolt is reasonable and reliable; The way of stiffening ribs’ setting has a great influence on the steel plate shear wall’s hysteretic performance,energy dissipation property , supporting capacity and rigidity. The middle stiffening rib could effectively improve specimens’ energy dissipation property, supporting capacity and capacity of ductility; Both sides stiffening rib could effectively improve specimens’ supporting capacity and has a influence on energy dissipation property.In the course of the experiment, according to test results, a number of improvements of the steel plate shear wall’s structural style are done. A more desirable structural style are determined, and the recommendations of its application in the actual use are given.
