Substantiating Design Coefficients and Factors for Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls-Concrete Filled

Composite Plate Shear Wall-Concrete Filled (C-PSW/CF) is an efficient seismic force-resisting system for buildings and is already addressed by ASCE-7 2016. Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls-Concrete Filled (Coupled C-PSW/CF) are more ductile and have more redundancy than non-coupled composite plate shear walls, but ASCE currently does not assign them seismic design coefficients and factors. This FEMA P695 study was conducted to substantiate the design coefficients and factors that should be used for such CC-PSW/CF structures. Read more
