  • Soil-bridge interaction during long-duration earthquake motions

    Creator:
    Romney, Kyle T.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake engineering analyses are often performed using shallow, crustal earthquake motions (e.g., 1940 El Centro). However, large areas of the world are subject to subduction zone earthquake motions (e.g., the Pacific Northwest). A subduction zone earthquake motion is characterized by its long duration (e.g., strong shaking lasts for more than...

  • Elevated Temperature Effects on the Shear Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Wall-to-Floor Bracket Connection

    Creator:
    Mahr, Kolton J.
    Abstract:
    Connections in mass timber structural systems dissipate energy and transfer lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls and diaphragms, providing critical load paths. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent mass timber material used to manufacture wall and floor assemblies. Fire performance research of CLT walls and floors...

  • High Strength Reinforcing Bars : Concrete Shear Friction Interface Behavior

    Creator:
    Nielson, Drew R.
    Abstract:
    Use of high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars could provide constructability and economic benefits for the construction of structures, reducing the initial and ultimately the life-cycle cost of bridge and building structural elements. This thesis summarizes work performed in a research project on the use of HSS reinforcing bars for concrete...

  • Seismic performance of diagrid steel structures using single and double friction mass dampers

    Creator:
    Ramadhan, Garlan
    Abstract:
    The steel diagrid structural system is a recent load bearing and lateral resisting structural system for tall building structures that is relatively unexplored in the western United States. One possible reason for the little use of diagrid systems in earthquake prone regions is the lack of guidelines and application examples...

  • Seismic assessment of unreinforced and retrofitted masonry buildings using Applied Element Method (AEM)

    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...

  • Seismic Performance of Square Reinforced Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars

    Creator:
    Lostra, Mackenzie M. W.
    Abstract:
    Large numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were built in the past that are now considered seismically deficient. The structural members most likely to be considered deficient are the supporting columns. Typical deficient columns contain inadequate transverse reinforcement and poorly detailed lap splice lengths above the foundation. Insufficient lap splice...

  • Cyclic performance of connections used in hybrid cross-laminated timber

    Creator:
    Mahdavifar, Vahid
    Abstract:
    One of the recent additions to the panoply of engineered wood products is cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a prefabricated, large-scale, solid wood panel that consists of multiple layers of lumbers stacked together, with each layer arranged perpendicular to the next layer, glued with structural grade adhesives, and pressed. The...

  • Seismic Retrofit of Square Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns using Titanium Alloy Bars

    Creator:
    Shrestha, Sharoo
    Abstract:
    There are many aging bridges in service in the US and around the world that were not constructed to modern seismic design codes and standards. As a result, they are expected to perform poorly during intense earthquake ground shaking. Older reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, in particular, are often supported on...
