This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...

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 ...

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 ...
