DEVELOPMENT OF LIME BASED, LOAD-BEARING MATERIALS FOR WALL CONSTRUCTION

Protein-based materials in load-bearing tissue-engineering applications.

Proteins such as collagen and elastin are robust molecules that constitute nanocomponents in the hierarchically organized ultrastructures of bone and tendon as well as in some of the soft tissues that have load-bearing functions. In the present paper, the macromolecular structure and function of the proteins are reviewed and the potential of mammalian and non-mammalian proteins in the engineeri...

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...

Performance of Infilled Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board PSSDB Load Bearing Wall (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper describes the testing of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB) load bearing wall system. Experimental tests were conducted on various PSSDB wall samples, with and without infill materials to study its effect on the PSSDB load bearing wall performance. A proprietary profiled steel sheet, Ajiya Cliplock (0.48 mm thick) attached to Cemboard (10 mm thick) on one side, and Cemplank (10 m...
