Hybrid Simulation Tests of Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall Specimens
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls usually have diagonal shear– or sliding shear–controlled behavior. Due to the lack of experimental data, there is uncertainty on how squat wall design parameters define their behavior ... -
Cyclic Tests Performed on Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls: Transition between Diagonal Shear and Sliding Shear Controlled Behavior Modes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used as primary gravity and lateral load–resisting systems in structures. Such low aspect ratio walls respond to load in diagonal or sliding shear. A series of real-scale ... -
Influence of Doors on the In-Plane Seismic Behavior of Partition Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Doors and other openings inevitably change the internal force distribution in cold-formed steel-framed gypsum partition walls (hereafter referred to as partition walls) subjected to lateral loading, which affects their ... -
Fire Testing and Modeling of a Novel Hybrid Timber Floor System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)To maximize the amount of carbon-sequestering mass timber and demonstrate the potential for mass timber across a range of building types and scales, DIALOG and EllisDon have developed a hybrid timber floor system (HTFS) ... -
Seismic-Resistant Performance of Double Built-Up T Moment Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The double-T moment connection is considered in the AISC Seismic Provisions for use in steel structures subjected to seismic forces. Nowadays, the use of double-T connections requires the use of hot-rolled T-sections, which ... -
Inverse Sustainable Seismic Design

Full-Scale System Testing for Asymmetric Steel I-Beams in Shallow-Depth Composite Floor Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Shallow-depth composite floor systems reduce floor depth by placing deep decking (or precast concrete panels) on the bottom flange of a steel beam that is partially encased in concrete. For ease of construction, an asymmetric ... -
Bolted Splice Connections for Composite Plate Shear Walls/Concrete-Filled: Monotonic Behavior and Numerical Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Concrete-filled composite plate shear walls (C-PSW/CF) effectively combine steel and concrete materials producing an efficient composite structural system also referred to as SpeedCore. Traditionally, complete joint ... -
Updates to the Design of Buildings for NBCC 2025 for Climate Adaptation, Resilience, and Associated Initial Cost Impact
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Most building codes have assumed stationary historical climatic data that can be statistically extrapolated to the future. However, nonstationarity has been shown in projections of future climatic data relevant to the ... -
