Optimizing the performance of gypsum wall board in wood frame shear walls

Creator:

Goodall, Scott I.

Abstract:

The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%,...

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...

10, 2010. Title: The Effect of Elevated Temperature on Mechanical Behavior of Structural Wood
Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

Creator:

Sullivan, Kyle

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....
