There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...
Composite shear walls represent a critical advancement in structural engineering, combining the complementary properties of steel and concrete to mitigate the effects of seismic forces. Through ...
The study approaches the size effect problem from three aspects, culminating in a proposed correction formula that demonstrates high accuracy in predicting the seismic performance of CFRP-reinforced ...
NSF and NEES funded large scale low aspect ratio (height/length) reinforced concrete shear wall testing is underway at SEESL. NSF and NEES funded large scale low aspect ratio (height/length) ...
Coupled steel-plate test specimens, shown before concrete filling is added, have various spacing and quantities of cross ties and shear studs. A radically different shear-wall core system for simpler ...
Wood structural panel sheathed shear walls and diaphragms are the primary lateral-load-resisting elements in wood-frame construction. As wood-frame construction is continuously evolving, designers in ...
SpeedCore slashed 40% off the construction schedule for the 850-ft-tall Rainier Square Tower in Seattle, according to the structural engineer. Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise ...
