This paper presents results from experimental and analytical investigations conducted to evaluate the lateral load behavior and capacity of steel-plate composite (SC) wall-to-reinforced concrete (RC) basemat connections. Two SC wall-to-reinforced concrete basemat connection specimens were tested. These SC wall specimens had a height-to-length ratio of 0.6 and did not include boundary elements. The experimental results include the lateral force-displacement (V-Δ) responses of the specimens and observations of local damage such as steel plate local buckling and concrete crushing. 3D finite element models were developed and benchmarked using the experimental results. The benchmarked models were used to conduct analytical parametric studies, expand the database, and gain additional insights into the behavior of SC wall-to-RC basemat connections. The parameters included in analytical investigations were the wall aspect ratio (h/lw), reinforcement ratio (ρ), and wall thickness (T).
