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 ...

The tall shear wall system was developed through a series of studies and advancements by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “The system is an evolution of many years of our work with composite ...

Advances in the design and evaluation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls have significantly enhanced the seismic resilience of modern structures. These walls, which integrate thin-gauge steel ...

SpeedCore slashed 40% off the construction schedule for the 850-ft-tall Rainier Square Tower in Seattle, according to the structural engineer. Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise ...

The last few years have brought an accelerating pace of creative advances in steel structural systems, notably in architecturally exposed structural steel, steel plate shear walls, and castellated and ...

Thanks to a number of key innovations, steel is playing a greater role in residential high-rises, senior and student housing, and taller mixed-use developments, says architect Jayshree Shah, AIA, ...
