The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) system is a lateral force-resisting system, about which many studies have been carried out in recent years. In the present study, the behavior of this system is investigated by pushover analysis. For this purpose, twenty CSPSWs structures are designed with width-to-height ratio (L/H) of 2.5, 2, 1.4, and 0.85, and the number of fl oors 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 were designed and analyzed using the ABAQUS fi nite element software package. The results of this study show that the initial stiff ness of CSPSWs is high and reaches its ultimate capacity at a thrust ratio of 0.1%; on the other hand, after the buckling in the infi ll plate, the stiff ness and base shear of the plate shear wall (PSW) signifi cantly decreases. Also, the results show that the infi ll plate tolerates a higher percentage of shear force before the buckling of the plate, but after buckling, the frame tolerates a higher percentage of the shear force. In multi-story structures, the boundary frame with shear performance in the lower fl oors has a more eff ective role in bearing shear force. Moreover, in the present study, an equation is presented for calculating the tension fi eld inclination angle. According to the equation, the tension fi eld inclination angle depends only on the PSW aspect ratio. Finally, a method is presented for estimating the uniform force–displacement curve of the single- and multi-story CSPSW systems. This method is obtained based on the corrugated plate-frame interaction (PFI) and was confi rmed with the force–displacement curve of experimental specimens and numerical models.
