Abstract: This paper describes the behavior of profiled concrete shear panels that may be used as core walls in framed construction. This research developed as a part of a larger program of work on a novel form of composite walling ...

Abstract: A construction technique that uses steel decking as permanent and integral shuttering for the sides and soffits of reinforced concrete beams is described. Experimental tests on large‐scale profiled beams have shown that ...

Abstract: Steel plates in double skin composite (DSC) panels are restrained by a concrete core and welded stud shear connectors at discrete positions. Local buckling of steel plates in DSC panels may occur in a unilateral mode between ...
