This collection of research papers presents a comprehensive study of various aspects related to composite walling and shear walls in high-rise buildings. The papers focus on investigating the behavior, performance, and advantages of different types of shear walls under lateral loads and seismic events. The set of technical papers explores the concept of composite walling, which involves a load-bearing system formed by two skins of light gauge profiled steel sheeting infilled with concrete. The studies investigate the two stages of structural performance, construction stage and service stage. Tests are conducted to examine the composite wall's behavior under axial bending, highlighting its advantages over traditional construction methods. Additionally, the use of steel-concrete composite structures is shown to enhance seismic performance and reduce construction costs. Further, research delves into the behavior of concrete columns confined by fiber composites, the lateral load resistance of buildings with shear walls, and the seismic response of steel-concrete composite shear walls. These studies demonstrate that the use of fiber composites increases the strength and ductility of concrete, while shear walls provide effective resistance to lateral forces and reduce seismic damage. The importance of shear walls in high-rise irregular buildings is explored, and various types of shear walls, including steel plate shear walls, are compared in terms of their seismic performance. The results reveal that composite shear walls exhibit higher ductility and energy dissipation, making them an effective option for resisting seismic effects in buildings. Additional investigations focus on the influence of parameters such as aspect ratio, shape, thickness, and presence of openings on the behavior of shear walls. Studies reveal that increasing the thickness of steel plates improves the ultimate bearing capacity and that the presence of holes can enhance deformation capacity. Composite shear walls with external stiffeners are found to offer better seismic behavior, reducing buckling and improving overall lateral resistance. The research papers collectively emphasize the significance of shear walls and composite walling systems in enhancing the seismic performance and overall structural integrity of high-rise buildings. The findings contribute valuable insights into optimizing design approaches for safer and more resilient structures in seismic-prone regions.
