Abstract
The lateral behavior of cold-formed steel shear wall is dependent on several factors including the type of cladding used. However, only a limited number of cladding types have been studied using specific installation method. In this study, due to the high demands of builders to use local materials for cladding light steel frames, which in addition to being abundant and easy to obtain, can also create a variety of designs such as stone or brick to match the facade of existent parts of the building, two full-scale samples of cold-formed steel shear walls sheathed by porcelain ceramic with different configurations were tested under standard cyclic lateral loading regime. After calculation of ductility and response factors by using of specimens tests results, The seismic effect of the cladding rectangular panels array, which can be installed in either horizontal or vertical strips, was investigated. The results of the tests showed that porcelain cladding panels installation in vertical strips instead of horizontal strips caused a decrease of approximately 11% in ultimate resistance and 20% in seismic response modification factor, R.
