This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...

As part of an analytical and experimental study on a proposed self-centering steel plate shear wall (SC-SPSW) system, the behavior of SC-SPSWs was developed investigated using one-third scaled ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

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 ...

Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...

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 ...

Q:I'm an architect who has also done my fair share of swinging a hammer. I enjoy your column, but once in a while you miss on some details. In this instance, you recommended fastening shear ply with ...
