The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...

Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...

Score another small victory for more-constructible high-rises, especially in seismic zones. Results of recent load tests on a "sandwich" shear-wall assembly, designed to simplify and speed ...

SpeedCore slashed 40% off the construction schedule for the 850-ft-tall Rainier Square Tower in Seattle, according to the structural engineer. Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise ...

Modern architecture increasingly favors timber structures for their sustainability and energy efficiency. However, traditional metal connectors used in these structures often suffer from corrosion and ...
