The whole of the adjacent wall to one side of the staircase is clad with a 10mm steel-plate wall panel, which rises to 1,800mm above the landing. The handrail is set in a diagonal slot formed in the ...

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 ...

Steel rods, spaced 4.5 in. apart, connected the plates. The specimen was representative of a core wall at about 3/8 scale, says Michael Kreger, co-principal investigator of the research, with Mark ...

The resulting problem - how to fix the balustrade - was solved by another cantilever. Three 75 x 15mm steel flats are welded to the wall string as baluster supports; they project below, and free of, ...

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 ...

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 ...
