Amit H Varma Ph.D. is the Karl H. Kettelhut Professor and Director of the Bowen Laboratory for Large-Scale CE Researchin the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. Professor Varma is the chair of AISC Task Commitee 8 on FireDesign a member of AISC Task Committee 5 on Composite Structures and the AISC Commitee on Specifications. He is a recipient of the 2003 ASCE Milek Faculty Fellowship the 2017 and 2020 AISC Special Achievement Awards and the 2021AISC T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award. He is also a recipient of the 2019 ASCE Shortridge Hardesty Award. Professor Varma led the overall organization editing and finalization of this Design Guide.
q p s e o po s e d s research on the seismic behavior analysis and design of uncoupled and coupled SpeedCore systems. She led the writing edit-ing formatting and finalization of this Design Guide with particular emphasis on Chapters 3 4 and 5 and the corresponding design examples.
Soheil Shafaei Ph.D. is a post-doctoral researcher in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. Dr. Shafaeidid his PhD research on the cyclic behavior testing analysis and design of SpeedCore walls for seismic and wind design. Heled the writing editing formatting and finalization of this Design Guide with particular emphasis on Chapters 1 and 2 and the corresponding design examples. He also reviewed and contributed to the design examples in Chapters 3 and 4 and the figures inChapter 5 and he reviewed Chapter 6.
Ph.D. research on the fire behavior analysis and design of SpeedCore walls and posite floor-to-wall connections. He led the writing editing formatting and finalization of Chapter 6 of this Design Guide. He also reviewed all the design examples inChapters 2 3 and 4.
