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 ...

There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...

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 ...
