This sub-task focused on the development and experimental validation of bolted splice connections near the plastic hinge regions of composite plate shear walls. Three wall specimens with bolted splice connections were designed and tested. These included splices accomplished using: (i) … [Read more...] about Composite Wall Bolted Splices Subjected to Wind & Seismic Loading
The proposed project will result in bolted splice concepts validated through experimental and numerical models, and ensuring design guidelines supporting pre-qualification that will broaden the reach of CF-CPSW nationwide, making it possible to use this structural system where field bolting is … [Read more...] about Bolted Splice Details for Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled
This proposal investigates a new, modular steel floor framing and diaphragm system for commercial building structures with broad applicability, including high seismic zones. The proposed system has key benefits of increasing the speed of construction, including eliminating the pouring of a concrete … [Read more...] about Behavior of Modular Steel Plate Floor Assemblies
A new, composite shear wall system is being explored in this ground-breaking research at Purdue University and the University at Buffalo. The innovative shear wall system employs two steel plates connected by steel cross ties that are then filled with high strength concrete. The shear wall system is … [Read more...] about Seismic and Wind Behavior and Design of Coupled CF-CPSW Core Walls for Steel Buildings
