D.Dan,A.Fabian V.Stoian,Romania ➢Steel encased composite shear wall Encased steel profiles can effectively control the concrete cracks in the wall, and to enable a better energy dissipation mechanism. Normally the steel profiles are encased as the edge elements, which enhance the seismic performance of the whole wall . Shear connction is used at the steel-concrete interface.
