Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Wood Substitution in Commercial Construction

Creator:

Milaj, Kristina

Abstract:

In the residential sector, wood is the predominant construction material. In the commercial sector and in mid‐rise construction, the use of wood is limited because of a multitude of reasons, including building code restrictions, the perception of wood as a structural material, fire code requirements, and lack of knowledge and...

Masters Thesis
Lateral Load Path Analysis : Practical Methods for Light-Frame Modular Structures

Creator:

Huynh, Thanh Q.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study are to use SAP2000 to investigate lateral load paths and system behavior in a modular, light-frame wood structure by investigating different foundation configurations and to further develop and validate existing modeling techniques of shear wall elements based on the Perforated Shear Wall Method. The modeling...

Masters Thesis
Hydrodynamic loads on fiber-optic micro cables

Creator:

Evans, Matthew R.

Abstract:

A Finite Element Model of a deployed Fiber-Optic Micro Cable (FOMC) was performed using the marine cable modeling software, OrcaFlex. The focus of this study was a parametric analysis of a two-part, towed cable array with the FOMC dragged behind a depressor and connected to a drogue chute. Length-to-diameter ratios...
