Abstract: This research paper presents the findings of an attempt to measure the implications of using ultra-high-performance concrete for shear walls in tall buildings considering structural ...

This paper examines the influence of connection detailing on the cyclic behavior of steel-concrete shear walls. To this end, experimental and numerical studies are conducted on two steel-concrete ...

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 ...
