  2. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

    Accelerates structural steel erection by using shop-welded and field-bolted steel panels, and thus, less inspection and reduced quality control costs; Permits efficient design of lateral-resisting systems by distributing large forces evenly. A steel plate shear element consists of steel infill plates bounded by a column-beam system.

  3. Shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall

    A structure of shear walls in the center of a large building—often encasing an elevator shaft or stairwell—form a shear core. In multi-storey commercial buildings, shear walls form at least one core (Figure 3). From a building services perspective, the shear core houses communal services including stairs, lifts, toilets and service risers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper_design_and...

    Due to the features of a shear wall, it is acceptable for small constructions, such as suburban housing or an urban brownstone, to require low material costs and little maintenance. In this way, shear walls, typically in the form of plywood and framing, brick, or cinderblock, are used for these structures. For skyscrapers, though, as the size ...

  5. Structural system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

    Shear structures: These are structures such as reinforced concrete or wooden shear walls, which are used in multistory buildings to reduce lateral movements due to wind loads and earthquake excitations. Shear structures develop mainly in-plane shear with relatively small bending stresses under the action of external loads.

  6. Earthquake-resistant structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Earthquake-resistant_structures

    The Ritz-Carlton/JW Marriott hotel building, a part of the LA Live development in Los Angeles, California, is the first building in Los Angeles that uses an advanced steel plate shear wall system to resist the lateral loads of strong earthquakes and winds.

  7. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells. In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments.
