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 ...

CECO Concrete Construction’s approach to planning and placing vertical concrete projects helped the company achieve a successful placement and a satisfied client at its recent work on shear walls at a ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...

Score another small victory for more-constructible high-rises, especially in seismic zones. Results of recent load tests on a "sandwich" shear-wall assembly, designed to simplify and speed ...

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 ...

The double bedroom housing project by GHMC at Rampally village, Keesara Mandal is built with shear wall technology, using imported tunnel form work. The technology enables completion of the project in ...

Despite the severity of the conditions and applications they encounter, concrete crusher and mobile shear attachments are capable of providing hundreds of hours of useful operation — provided they are ...
