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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study reveals that high shear-dispersed nano-alumina boosts concrete performance, enhancing strength and durability for demanding infrastructure projects.

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 ...
