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 ...

The tall shear wall system was developed through a series of studies and advancements by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “The system is an evolution of many years of our work with composite ...

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...
