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...

Dissertation
Slotted-bolted friction damper as a seismic energy dissipator in a braced timber frame

Creator:

Tjahyadi, Alfred

Abstract:

Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in timber brace. The research was...

Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:

Kent, Scott M.

Abstract:

The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...
