Cold-formed steel framed shear wall sheathed with corrugated steel sheets is a promising shear wall system for low- and mid-rise constructions at high wind and seismic zones due to its advantages of non-combustibility, high shear strength, and high shear stiffness. A series of full-scale shear wall tests on corrugated sheet steel shear walls have been conducted at University of North Texas. This paper presents the dynamic model in OPENSEES and incremental dynamic analysis on one two-story and one five-story cold-formed steel framed building. The analysis results provide a systematic assessment of the building performances subjected to earthquake loads.
