The orthogonal layout leaves slabareas adjacent to the column corners completely unreinforced for shear, says Parra. Headed shear-stud reinforcement was introduced into the code in 2008.

The main problem is the orthogonal shear-stud layout, which is published in ACI 318, says Gustavo J. Parra-Montesinos, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor ...

Simpson Strong-Tie's RCA-C rigid connector angle is an ideal solution for attaching cold-formed steel (CFS) stud framing to concrete supports. Features 2 in. by 2 in. legs for plenty of room to ...

Abstract: This report presents the results of experimental, numerical, and analytical studies on the in-plane cyclic behavior of rectangular steel-plate concrete (SC) composite shear walls. The SC ...
