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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
