The search for light weight and efficient structural elements is a continuing process. Reducing the structural weight and improving the load carrying capabilities of steel frames will allow designers to add additional capabilities while reducing cost. Corrugated steel plate shear walls offer several advantages when used to resist both vertical and lateral forces in a building. This paper is devoted to the buckling behavior of steel frames with corrugated steel shear walls. The system consists of two parts, the first one is the envelope steel frame and the second is the infill corrugated steel shear wall. The corrugated steel plates are connected to the surrounding frame beam and columns. The buckling load factor of this system depends on the interaction of many factors including the corrugation configuration of steel plate, the angle of corrugation, the depth of corrugation, the thickness of corrugated plate and spacing of the fasteners used to attach the corrugated sheets to the steel frame, in addition to the restraint conditions and the external load action. In the present paper, the effects of corrugation configuration of steel shear wall, and the depth of corrugation on the buckling behavior of such frames subjected to vertical or vertical and horizontal loads were investigated. Steel frames with trapezoidal or triangular corrugated steel shear panel were modeled using the finite element software COSMOS/M 2.8 and a linear analysis was performed.
