A full-scale composite slit steel plate walls(CSSPW) specimen was tested,which further verified the cyclic strain hardening phenomenon.In the meanwhile,a unified model of equivalent cross brace(ECB) model and corresponding hysteretic models were proposed to simulate the hysteresis behavior of steel plate shear walls with slits and CSSPW.Numerical simulation was conducted for four specimens of steel plate shear walls and three specimens of CSSPWs,showing good accuracy of the proposed model.
