Wind and Seismic Behavior of Noncontact Lap-Splice Connections for Concrete-Filled Composite-Plate Shear Walls

Abstract

AbstractConcrete-filled composite-plate shear walls (C-PSW/CFs), or SpeedCore walls, have to be anchored to the reinforced concrete foundation or base. Different wall-to-base connection types have been considered, but noncontact lap-splice connections ...
