I have a structure that has steel plate as an exterior skin that I am trying to use as shear walls......I don't see anywhere where this is specifically addressed in code other than "Steel special plate shear walls". Is there a way to treat this as a "ordinary" steel shear wall and avoid the detailing requirements of AISC's seismic design manual.
