Soheil Shafaei

Soheil Shafaei studies the structural engineering of steel-concrete composite shear walls, which are wall systems combining steel plates or tubes with concrete to help buildings resist earthquakes and wind loads. Much of the recent work focuses on a system called SpeedCore (composite plate shear walls filled with concrete), examining how different connection types between wall sections perform under seismic and wind forces. This research is aimed at improving the design and construction of tall buildings that need to withstand lateral loads from earthquakes or high winds.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade with modest year-to-year fluctuation, averaging about 2 publications per year over the last five years without a clear upward or downward trend.
