The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:

Sinha, Arijit

Abstract:

Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

Creator:

Kirkham, William J.

Abstract:

There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...

Development of rapid visual screening tool for seismic evaluation of wood-frame dwellings

Creator:

Lucksiri, Kraisorn

Abstract:

During the past several decades, earthquakes have caused extensive damage to buildings, including wood-frame, single-family dwellings, in the United States. In order to mitigate future losses, existing buildings in earthquake prone areas should be evaluated for their seismic safety. This is also an important issue for buildings in Oregon due...
