Structural Fire Engineering and Design of Filled Composite Plate Shear Walls (SpeedCore)

FROM SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO APPLICATION

If watching is more productive for you than reading, check out these new videos by Dr. Amit H. Varma and his research team as they share their experimental and analytical studies conducted to:

• evaluate the performance of Composite Plate Shear Walls/Concrete-Filled (C-PSW/CF) subjected to fire loading, and

• develop design guidelines and specifications for fire design of C-PSW/CF under fire loading.

These videos are intended to accelerate the discovery and disseminate the knowledge of this industry advancing innovations.

This research was sponsored in collaboration with our industry partners, the Steel Institute of New York and the American Institute of Steel Construction.
