Seismic Design of Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls (C-PSWCFs) per ANSI/AISC 341-22 & ASCE/SEI 7-22
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive overview of seismic design and detailing requirements of coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls Concrete Filled (coupled C-PSWCFs) according to ANSIAISC 341-22 and ASCESEI 7-22 codes.
This course provides an understanding of the Coupled C-PSWCF system, its components, design principles, and detailing requirements as outlined in ANSIAISC 341-22 and ASCESEI 7-22. The course also reviews a detailed design example of an 18-story office building using this system. This course covers system components, geometric constraints, and connection requirements, with a focus on coupling beam-to-wall and wall-to-foundation connections. The course also introduces the role of these systems within the FEMA P695 framework and includes a step-by-step design example of an 18-story building. With the release of the ASCE/SEI 7-22 code, the Coupled C-PSW/CF system has been officially recognized as a distinct seismic force-resisting system. This highlights its growing importance in modern structural engineering. However, the limited availability of resources and references on this topic has created a gap in the field. This course aims to bridge that gap by serving as a vital guide for professionals working with this advanced structural system.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to structural and civil engineers and others interested in learning about seismic design and detailing requirements of coupled C-PSWCFs.
