There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...

Basically, wind shear in relation to tropical systems is the difference between the wind speed and direction at the surface compared to that of the upper levels of the atmosphere. For example if ...

The shear typically must be 20 knots or less for intensification to occur. Most instances of rapid intensification of hurricanes occur when the wind shear is 10 knots or less.
