Steel fiber will make shear walls faster, cheaper to build. Seattle high-rise will be the nation’s first to use a new method to strengthen concrete. By CARY KOPCZYNSKI Cary Kopczynski & Co.

The sandwich is a generic version of a Tata Steel product, called Bi-Steel, from the U.K. The 27-ft-tall specimen, a "T" in plan, consisted of a 6-ft-deep web member and a 7.5-ft-deep flange ...

A radically different shear-wall core system for simpler and speedier construction of steel-framed high-rise office buildings is about to make its debut. The coupled steel-plate composite wall ...

The concrete shear walls have a higher lateral capacity than light-gauge steel shear walls. “We reduced the amount of shear wall requirement to a handful of walls,” he said.

A Composite Plate Shear Wall-Concrete Filled (CPSW/CF) is a special lateral-force resisting system consisting of two steel plates with concrete infill in between them. The steel plates are connected ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction has released Design Guide 38, SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures.. The document pertains to the nonproprietary concrete-filled composite steel plate ...

Advances in the design and evaluation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls have significantly enhanced the seismic resilience of modern structures. These walls, which integrate thin-gauge steel ...

This research extends work reported in “Impact of Horizontal Boundary Elements Design on Seismic Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls” by R. Purba and M. Bruneau, MCEER-10-0007. The finite element ...
