Experimental and Numerical Study of Perforated Steel Plate Shear Panels

Thin perforated Steel Plate Shear (SPS) Walls are among the most common types of energy dissipating systems. The applied holes reduce the shear strength of the plate and allow to decrease the profile size of the members at the boundary of the panel when these systems are used in the typical design of structures. On the other hand, the different fracture locations of these panels are visible whe...

Connections for Precast Concrete Load-bearing Shear Wall Panels

Precast load-bearing shear wall panels are used extensively for high-rise construction because of the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection '~md the overall integrity of the structure. This paper presents the results of a four-year research program conducted to i...

Experimental Tests on Steel Buckling Inhibited Shear Panels

Passive protection systems based on the use of metal shear panels represent an effective way for achieving a significant improvement of the seismic response of buildings. Nevertheless, the dissipative capacity of these devices could be limited by buckling phenomena. In order to reduce the influence of instability, "Buckling Inhibited Shear Panels" have been recently introduced as an innovative ...

Crumb Rubber-concrete Panels under Blast Loads Preprint

To improve the blast resistance of a wall system, it is necessary to enhance its energy absorption capabilities and/or increase its mass. Much research has been performed on improving the ductility, and thus the resistance, of a wall system using elastic materials externally attached to the tension side of a wall. This project investigated the static resistance of wall systems with elastic mate...
