Table 2

Test results of CFS shear walls.

Numbers	P y (kN)	Δ y (mm)	P max (kN)	Δ max (mm)	P u (kN)	Δ u (mm)	Shear strength (kN·m^−1)
WALL1	7.48	13.5	9.12	48	7.75	74.8	3.8
WALL2	21.50	23.9	26.84	51.21	22.81	68	11.18
WALL3	29.12	19.6	34.99	59.62	29.72	74	14.58

Note. P _y is the yield strength; Δ_y is the yield displacement; P_max is the maximum strength; Δ_max is the maximum displacement; P_u is the failure strength; Δ_u is the failure displacement.
