Novel high-rise shear-wall core system, ... Design Guide 38: SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures is intended for use with the 2022 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, ...

Abstract: Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are investigated in this report, for use in retrofit and new design as a lateral force resisting system in building structures. An experimental program of ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction has released Design Guide 38, SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures. The document pertains to the nonproprietary concrete-filled composite steel plate ...

The concrete shear walls have a higher lateral capacity than light-gauge steel shear walls. “We reduced the amount of shear wall requirement to a handful of walls,” he said.

Results of recent load tests on a sandwich shear-wall assembly, designed to simplify and speed construction of core shear walls surrounded by steel frames, are equal to or better than anticipated ...

Engineering researchers have provided the building blocks necessary for enabling performance-based design for cold-formed steel buildings, structures that have shown in shake-test experiments at the ...

Shear walls are designed to stand up against those forces. As building codes everywhere are revised to include provisions for high winds, floods, and seismic activities, this type of engineering ...

Most importantly, the latter SPSWs were found to have a higher probability to suffer significantly larger interstory drift than the former. This research extends work reported in “Impact of Horizontal ...
