  • Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kent, Scott M.
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

  • Dynamic response of flexible rotating machines subjected to ground motions

    Creator:
    Su, Wen-Chyi
    Abstract:
    Rotating machine play an important role in modern technology. Compressors in ventilating and cooling systems, pumps in power generation facilities, as well as high speed computer are all examples of flexible rotating machinery that must remain functional during and after a sever earthquake. Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that an aseismically...

  • Development of a seismic rehabilitation master plan for the Oregon State University campus

    Creator:
    Trautwein, Steven R.
    Abstract:
    The recent increase in awareness of the seismic hazards in Oregon has led to a concern regarding the safety of Oregon State University buildings. While the decision has been made to initiate the seismic rehabilitation of campus facilities, the question of which buildings pose the greatest hazards, and are therefore...
