Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:

Elkins, Lori A.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

Creator:

Anderson, Erin N.

Abstract:

Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...

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...

Masters Thesis
Nonlinear dynamic analysis of heavy timber frame structures including passive damping devices

Creator:

Eiden, Claudia M. T.

Abstract:

Engineering analysis of heavy timber structures under dynamic loads is generally lacking. Some literature suggests that heavy timber structures are stiffer than expected, but popular engineering opinion is to the contrary. In addition, prior research has shown that passive friction dampers can be used in timber structures for the intended...

Masters Thesis
Lateral force resisting pathways in log structures

Creator:

Scott, Randy J.

Abstract:

In recent years, log structures have been marketed as an alternative to conventional light-frame wood structures. Log structures are constructed using round timbers (or manufactured timbers) that are stacked vertically and have interlocking corners. Thru-rods and lag screws are used to provide inter-log connections. This project was conducted to evaluate...

Masters Thesis
Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

Creator:

Carroll, Cameron T.

Abstract:

Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...

Masters Thesis
Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

Creator:

Bultena, Sarah M.

Abstract:

Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...
