  • In-plane Creep Behavior of Cross-laminated Timber and Mass Plywood Panels: A Methodology to Evaluate the Long-term Performance of Post-Tensioned Mass Timber Walls

    Creator:
    Longman, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    Post-tensioned (PT) self-centering shear walls were designed to reduce structural damage from seismic activity. However, these lateral force resistant systems experience post-tension loss negatively affecting the re-centering capability due to delayed deformations experienced by engineered wood products over time. The long-term mechanical response of mass-timber panels to in-plane PT loads...

  • Decision-Making for Cross-Laminated Timber Modular Construction Logistics Using Discrete-Event Simulation

    Creator:
    Abiri, Bahar
    Abstract:
    The two primary considerations for construction project management are budget and time management. Modular construction has the potential to improve construction productivity by minimizing time and costs while improving safety and quality. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are beneficial for modular construction due to the high level of prefabrication, adequate dimensional...

  • Automated Chemical Acidification Testing of Cementitious Materials

    Creator:
    Zaw, Myo
    Abstract:
    Due to its availability, versatility, structural capability, and economic advantages, concrete is the most widely used material in building sewer networks and other wastewater structures such as treatment stations, wastewater digesters, septic tanks, pumping stations, hydraulic risers, utility risers and covers, etc. Concrete structures exposed to sewer environments can experience...

  • Chloride Binding of Portland Limestone Cement containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials

    Creator:
    Then, Nathalene WY
    Abstract:
    Chloride binding in Portland limestone cements (PLC) can be attributed to the chemical reaction between chloride ions and carboaluminate phases to form Friedel’s salt and the physical interaction between chloride ions and calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H). This thesis examines the chloride binding of mortar samples containing varying amounts of limestone, fly ash,...

  • Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

    Creator:
    Bhandari, Sujit
    Abstract:
    Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

  • Cross-Laminated Timber-Concrete Composite Floor Systems for Tall Building Design

    Creator:
    Morrell, Ian
    Abstract:
    With growing interest in mass timber, especially mass timber panels (MTP), there has been a need to better understand their structural properties. One of the most versatile uses for MTP are as floor systems. Under new code provisions, these floors can be utilized in new and taller building types, but...

  • Automated Monitoring of Construction Operations for Data-Driven Decision Making

    Creator:
    Rashid, Khandakar, M.
    Abstract:
    The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...
