Abstract
Concrete-filled coupled composite plate shear walls (a.k.a. as SpeedCore walls) are gaining acceptance for construction in seismic region throughout North America. Design provisions for this lateral load-resisting system have already been added to ASCE 7-22 and to the American Institute of Steel Construction Seismic Design Provisions. Adequacy of the seismic design parameters used for this structural purpose have been validated in the USA using the FEMA P695 methodology. An interest was expressed by the practicing engineering community to use these walls in Canada, which requires demonstration of satisfactory seismic performance within the Canadian context. As such, new analyses are needed using Canadian-specific sets of ground motions to confirm the adequacy of the seismic design parameters proposed for implementation of these composite walls in the NBCC. This paper presents the results of these analyses, showing that the proposed seismic performance factors are appropriate for this structural system in Canada.
