This course outlines the seismic design and detailing requirements of Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls/Concrete Filled Systems (C-PSW/CF) according to ANSI/AISC and ASCE/SEI standards. The system is considered efficient for seismic force-resistance in modern high-rise buildings, offering improved ductility and redundancy compared to uncoupled systems. Recent updates in ASCE/SEI 7-22 include specific provisions for coupled C-PSW/CF structures, with key design coefficients such as R = 8, Cd = 5.5, and Ω0 = 2.5.
These systems comprise composite walls and coupling beams made of steel plates and concrete infill, eliminating the need for additional reinforcement bars. The course emphasizes modularity, construction efficiency, and the space-saving advantages of C-PSW/CFs over conventional reinforced concrete walls. Designing these systems involves ensuring flexure critical behavior in both the walls and coupling beams, with detailed requirements for steel areas, slenderness, and connection strengths.
In a practical design example of an 18-story office building, the seismic design procedures are illustrated following ASCE/SEI 7-22 standards, emphasizing material properties, load combinations, and seismic design parameters. The course offers detailed insights into the iterative sizing, numerical modeling, limit state checks, and overall structural analysis of C-PSW/CF systems to enhance earthquake resistance in building structures.
