In this new type of steel plate shear wall, called semi-supported steel plate shear wall, steel plates are connected to secondary columns which are responsible for undergoing post-buckling force of plates while in the traditional steel plate shear walls, steel plates are connected to main columns. Fiber polymers can be utilized to improve the functionality of semi-supported steel plate shear walls. The effect of yield stress, plate thickness, and fibers thickness and orientation on semi-supported steel plate shear walls reinforced by glass fiber polymers has been investigated in this study. The results exhibit that the behavior of system as well as its energy absorption and ductility can be enhanced by using plates with lower amounts of yield stress. Increasing each of plates thickness or yield stress improves ultimate resistance although the effect of plates thickness is much more remarkable than that of yield stress. Moreover, increasing the fibers thickness increases seismic parameters of the supposed system up to an optimal limit.
