Cyclic performance of composite shear walls with boundary elements
Structures, 2020Abstract In the past three decades, several experiments were conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of composite plate shear walls (C-PSW) because of their advantages to conventional reinforced concrete (RC) and steel plate shear walls (SPSW).

Shear Strength of Composite Masonry Walls
1995A composite masonry wall consists of a wythe of brick and another wythe of concrete block. The cavity between the two wythes is grouted and the wall acts as a single unit. In such construction, the floor slab usually rests on the interior (block) wythe, and directly transmits vertical and horizontal in-plane loads.

Shear coefficients for thin-walled composite beams
Composite Structures, 1987Abstract The shear coefficient in Timoshenko beam theory is obtained for thin-walled beams constructed of laminated panels of composite material using a variation of the method due to Cowper. Formulae are presented for a class of such composite beams. Comparisons are made with Cowper's original formulae for the case of an isotropic beam.

Shear Strength of Concrete and Gypsum Composite Walls
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013Gypsum walls are a green product that helps to save energy and protect the environment. This paper investigates the shear strength of glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) walls fully or partially filled with concrete in the hollow cores. Eight full scale GFRG walls were tested. The shear performance of the tested walls, including the shear failure mode,

Behaviour of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Composite Columns
Structures Congress 2008, 2008Research on conventional steel plate shear walls has developed recently to the point where their behaviour is reasonably well understood. However, the potential exists to design steel plate shear walls to take advantage of the benefits of composite columns and in this regard, considerably less information is available to designers.

Test and analysis of the precast composite RC shear wall
IABSE Reports, 2010<p>In this paper, 9 specimens of precast composite RC shear wall and 3 compared specimens of normal RC wall were tested under low frequency cyclic load to study the structural behaviour of the precast composite RC shear wall and its difference from that of the normal cast-in-place RC wall.

Cyclic Behavior of Traditional and Innovative Composite Shear Walls
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2004Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral-load resisting systems in high-rise buildings. The composite shear wall system studied herein consists of a steel plate shear wall with a reinforced concrete wall attached to one side of it using bolts.

Modeling of RC shear walls strengthened by FRP composites
Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 2017RC shear walls are considered one of the main lateral resisting members in buildings. In recent years, FRP has been widely utilized in order to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures. A number of experimental studies used CFRP sheets as an external bracing system for retrofitting of RC shear walls. It has been found that the common mode of failure

Shear center for elastic thin-walled composite beams
Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 1995An analysis to determine shear centers for anisotropic elastic thin-walled composite beams, cantilevered and loaded transversely at the free end is presented. The shear center is formulated based on familiar strength of material procedures analogous to those for isotropic beams.
