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 ...

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 ...

The seismic resistance bearing and deformation capacity of the traditional wall structure is poor, and the force is not uniform, which leads to the high risk of building collapse. In order to solve ...

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 ...
