A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...
Bolted Splice Details for Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled (Part I: Component Level Test)
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 ...
This technique is implemented in Textechno’s FIMATEST system. Dr. Ulrich Mörschel, CEO of Textechno, explains: “Up to now, a characterization of the interfacial shear strength according to standards ...
