<p>Single-corrugated steel shear walls (CSSWs) have been recommended to overcome the drawbacks of the flat steel shear walls (FSSWs). However, CSSWs suffer from low ductility and post-buckling behavior. Steel shear walls (SSWs) have been continuously developed over the years. Recently, a new type of SSW combined with flat and trapezoidal corrugated plates called flat-corrugated SSWs (FCSSWs) has been introduced, combining the advantages of both flat and corrugated plates. The current paper reviewes the effectiveness of FCSSWs made of one corrugated plate and one flat steel plate. For comparison, FSSWs and CSSWs have been investigated to highlight the advantages of the FCSSWs. The outcomes indicated an improvement in the lateral behavior of FCSSWs compared to traditional FSSWs. In such a way, the maximum resistance of this system has increased between 4.6 and 26.7% compared to FSSWs. Besides, the outcomes revealed that the hysteresis curve of FCSSWs is significantly more plumper than that of FSSWs, which has led to a significant increase in energy absorption, varying between 23.4 and 54.9%. The results also show that using flat-corrugated plates has improved the initial stiffness and ductility of SSWs compared to FSSW and CSSW systems.</p>
