Structural performance of steel-concrete sandwich beams with carbon nanofiber reinforcement [PDF]
Cementitious materials such as concrete are typically characterised as quasi-brittle with low tensile strength and low strain capacity, which hence affect the long-term durability of the structure.

Stiffness and Strength Of Perforated Steel Plate Shear Wall
AbstractSteel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) have been used as a lateral-load-resisting system in buildings. With formation of tension fields, unstiffened SPSW possesses good ductility and high energy dissipating capability under cyclic loading. However, large demand is induced to the frame members from panel yielding.

Seismic Behavior of a Novel Buckling-Restrained Steel Plate Shear Wall
In this study, in a novel buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall (BRSPSW) with out-of-plane deformation spaces, angle steel stiffeners have been installed so as to create gaps between the steel plate and the covering concrete slabs.

Novel flow apparatus for investigating shear-enhanced crystallization and structure development in semicrystalline polymers [PDF]
An instrument to study the effects of shearing on the crystallization process in semicrystalline polymers is described. It can impose transient stresses similar to those encountered in polymer processing and provides in situ monitoring of microstructure ...

Experimental Study on a Low‐Rise Shear Wall with the Built‐In Shear Steel Plate
In this paper, a new reinforcement scheme is proposed to improve the seismic performance of low‐rise shear walls. The new system combines the advantages of slotted and composite shear walls to exhibit a high bearing capacity and good deformation performance.

Numerical Modelling of Double-Steel Plate Composite Shear Walls [PDF]
Double-steel plate concrete composite shear walls are being used for nuclear plants and high-rise buildings. They consist of thick concrete walls, exterior steel faceplates serving as reinforcement and shear connectors, which guarantee the composite action between the two different materials.
