Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise shear-wall ... steel-plate modules, touted as being faster, safer and less costly to build than a concrete core, now have a design tool.

steel plate shear walls, and performance-based seismic design,” Jon Magnusson, senior principal at MKA, explained. “Ron Klemencic has led the development of the system working with MKA ...

The idea for the L.A. Live Hotel and Residences structure was born in March 2006, when Nabih Youssef Associates reviewed the conceptual design and suggested replacing the heavy 30"concrete shear walls ...

IN THE CANS Key to the steel-plate ... an R factor of 7.5 to design the system, as indicated for special concentric braced frames. The plate wall is not simply a shear element.
