Design of Modular Composite Walls Subjected to Thermal and Mechanical Loading

Modular composite (MC) walls consist of steel plates on the exterior to serve as stay-in-place formwork and equivalent rebar. This type of construction is attractive for reducing the schedule and field labor associated with massive concrete construction projects (e.g., nuclear facilities). This paper presents analysis and design approach for MC walls subjected to simultaneous thermal loading and transverse applied loads. The applied loads can be...
