Abstract: Steel-plate composite (SC) walls are used in the containment internal structures (CIS) of safety-related nuclear facilities. CIS are typically composed of multiple SC walls intersecting each other and forming SC wall-to-wall ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program conducted to evaluate the local damage behavior of steel-plate composite (SC) walls subjected to missile impact. There is significant interest in the use of SC ...

Abstract: Planar composite plate shear walls/concrete filled (C-PSW/CF) consist of two steel web plates and two flange (or closure) plates making up a long hollow box section that is filled with concrete. The web plates are connected ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on local buckling and axial compressive behavior of steel-plate composite (SC) walls. SC walls are comprised of a concrete wall sandwiched between two steel faceplates on the surfaces. The steel faceplates ...

Abstract: Composite plate shear walls–concrete-filled (C-PSW/CF) are a new and innovative lateral force–resisting system intended for high-rise buildings. High-rise building applications of this system are particularly efficient in ...
