The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Engineers' specific questions and concerns regarding the performance of the anchorage of the steel sections to the core walls prompted the most recent tests. The next round will investigate reducing ...

Modern architecture increasingly favors timber structures for their sustainability and energy efficiency. However, traditional metal connectors used in these structures often suffer from corrosion and ...

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 ...

This study addressed the need to increase the flexural capacity of deteriorated pre-stressed concrete box beams through an experimental campaign involving the design, application, and testing of a ...
