SpeedCore Research Bolted Splice Details for Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled
The Charles Pankow Foundation (CPF) is pleased to announce the award of a new research grant to University at Buffalo and Principal Investigator Michel Bruneau. The results of this work is intended to provide experimentally-verified bolted splice details for Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled, also known as SpeedCore. Field bolted splices may be preferable especially in non- seismic regions, regions of moderate seismicity, and where wind demands exceed elastic seismic demands and govern splice design.
The Industry Advisory Panel for this research includes:
- Ron Klemencic, Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA)
- Larry Kruth, American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
- Devin Huber, AISC
- Glen Bell, Consulting Engineer
- Jim Malley, Degenkolb Engineers
- Rafael Sabelli, Walter P. Moore & Associates
This research is made possible with additional financial support provided by the MKA Foundation, AISC, and Atlas Tube, a division of Zekelman Industries.
