There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction has released Design Guide 38, SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures. The document pertains to the nonproprietary concrete-filled composite steel plate ...

Recently, the Henan Steel Group Zhoukou Base wide and thick plate production line achieved a significant breakthrough—the dual-sided splitting shear has been put into operation, marking the full ...

Fewer cross-ties, simpler link beams and less fire protection. The nearly 1.4-million-sq-ft 200 Park high-rise in San José, Calif., though only 300 ft tall, has taken Seattle’s 850-ft-tall proof of ...

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...

The UP 45SV is a universal processor designed for demolition, recycling operations and road and bridge reconstruction. Compared to its predecessor model, the processor features a two-cylinder design ...

We're excited to announce the addition of Shear-Plate Collimation Testers to our growing catalogue of precision optical components. These new testers are designed to ensure accurate laser collimation ...
