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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

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 ...
