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 ...

Composite steel‐concrete slabs represent a successful integration of two distinct materials, combining the tensile strength and ductility of steel with the compressive capacity and durability of ...

Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet the material itself has barely changed in a ...

There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...

The Grist Mill Bridge, a 75-ft single-span bridge in Hampden, Maine, is the first in the nation to use composite tub girders with no concrete reinforcement in the superstructure, say officials. The ...

Concrete is an attractive building material because of its relatively low cost, environmental stability, and high compressive strength. Due to its inherent low tensile strength, however, concrete ...

Entergy Louisiana is taking steps to ensure that it maintains a dependable electricity supply in the future. Recently, the company crews gathered in Jefferson Parish to undergo training and test the ...
