Creator:: Rowe, Shawn, Riggio, Mariapaola, De Amicis, Raffaele, and Rowe, Susan R.
Abstract:: This paper discusses elementary, and secondary (K-12) teachers’ perceptions of cross-reality (XR) tools for data visualization and use of sensor data from the built environment in classroom curricula. Our objective was to explore the use of sensor-informed XR in the built environment and civil engineering (BECE) field to support K-12...

Creator:: Larasatie, Pipiet, Barnett, Taylor, and Hansen, Eric
Abstract:: Although there are continuous efforts aimed at increasing gender diversity, the forest sector is still largely perceived as a male dominated field, indicated by a persistent masculine image. As a result, women are still underrepresented. Utilizing interviews, we found that greater representation of women in the forest sector is considered...

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Nairn, John A.
Abstract:: Wood and wood-based composites are being used extensively in single-family residential dwellings. Therefore, it is important to categorize their response when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. In fire-resistant design for wood structures, the main goal is to ensure that enough structural integrity is maintained, during...

Creator:: Malone, Brian P., Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compare structural load path and system behavior of a light-frame (LF) and a timber frame (TF) structure. This load path analysis is part of a broader research effort that compares LF to TF residential structures. Structural analysis software was used to create a...

Creator:: Kirkham, William J., Gupta, Rakesh, and Miller, Thomas H.
Abstract:: Ten full-size (3.7×4.9m) plywood roof diaphragms were constructed using metal-plate-connected (MPC) common and hip wood trusses or joists, typical of single-family dwelling (SFD) construction. The specimens included three gable roof slopes of 33, 67, and 100%, a hip roof of 33% slope, and a flat roof, with a horizontal bottom...

Creator:: Seaders, Peter, Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of wood-frame shear walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads by: 1) comparing performance under each loading protocol; 2) evaluating effects of anchorage; and 3) eval-uating performance qualitatively and quantitatively with respect to code-deﬁned performance measures. Tests were conducted on...

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit, Nairn, John A., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The construction industry has relied heavily on wood and wood-based composites, such as oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood for timber frame construction. Therefore, it is highly imperative to categorize the response of wood-based composites when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. The essence of fire-resistant...

Creator:: Kirkham, William J., Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: Seismic design of wood-frame single-family dwellings’ (WFSFD) lateral force–resisting systems requires determination of the stiffness of horizontal diaphragms and shearwalls. During design, sizes and locations of shearwall openings are often changed, altering shearwall stiffness and loads and requiring a significant redesign effort. Rigid and tributary area method analyses are examined...

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Nairn, John A.
Abstract:: This study investigated the effect of exposure to elevated temperature on the yield strength of single-shear nail connections when subjected to lateral loading. Solid sawn lumber and laminated veneer lumber were used as framing members and two different thicknesses of both oriented strand board and plywood were used as the...

Creator:: Lucksiri, Kraisorn, Miller, Thomas H., Gupta, Rakesh, Pei, Shiling, and van de Lindt, John W.
Abstract:: This paper highlights the development of a rapid visual screening (RVS) tool to quickly identify, inventory, and rank residential buildings that are potentially seismically hazardous, focusing on single-family, wood-frame dwellings with plan irregularity. The SAPWood software was used to perform a series of nonlinear time-history analyses for 480 representative models,...
