Creator:: Koll, Charles D.
Abstract:: The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

Creator:: Al-Aukaily, Alabbas
Abstract:: Significant amounts of uncertainty owing to both modeling decisions and inherent randomness are present in simulating the material and geometric nonlinear response of structural systems to extreme loading. Computing the sensitivity of structural response with respect to model parameters indicates which parameters have the largest affect on the response, which...

Creator:: Gordon, James A.
Abstract:: Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

Creator:: Soti, Rajendra
Abstract:: A significant number of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings exist in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America that is a region of high seismicity, which could be subjected to both crustal and subduction zone earthquakes. The catastrophic and brittle failures associated with URM buildings in the past...

Creator:: Chopperla, Krishna Siva Teja
Abstract:: The most common test methods to evaluate alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the concrete prism test (CPT) and the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT), have limitations and are not entirely reliable in terms of predicting the performance of concrete with prevention measures under field conditions. In this study, the miniature concrete prism...
