Post-Tensioned Masonry Shear Wall Design Based on TMS 402-16/13 (SD Method)

DESIGN CRITERIA
1. The Post-Tensioned Masonry Shear Wall can be as the Self-Centering Lateral Frame, which is g
2. The PT walls use smooth steel rods as the post-tensioned rods, in lieu of soft tendons, so easy c
3. The PT walls can be the exterior walls with the energy savings of LEED Gold, because no groute
