  • Multi-Scale Approach to Evaluating Moisture Durability of Wood-Based Composites

    Creator:
    Way, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    The majority of low-rise residential structures in the U.S. are constructed with wood. Wood-based composites are primary building materials in these structures, used as structural sheathing, joists, and beam components. Wood composites are susceptible to degradation upon exposure to high levels of moisture. Moisture durability is routinely assessed with accelerated...

  • Establishing Design Values for Potential Utilization of Western Juniper as a Building Material

    Creator:
    Miyamoto, Byrne Tadaaki
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is a conifer that is native to Oregon, California, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho. Juniper is known to have highly decay resistant heartwood and is a popular choice for finished furniture. With recent forest management practices over the past 100 years have resulted in an immense population...

  • Lateral Edge Connection and Withdrawal Capacity of Western Juniper

    Creator:
    Girod, Hayley E.
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is a “native invasive” tree species in Eastern Oregon. It is extremely good at finding and consuming water in arid climates, which makes it difficult for other plant species, especially sagebrush and grasses to survive. Sagebrush and grasses are necessary for the survival of the sage...

  • Biological durability of cross-laminated timber connections

    Creator:
    Udele, Kenneth E.
    Abstract:
    Mass timber (MT) offers viable eco-conscious solutions within the building industry, with its high strength ratings, dimensional stability, light weight and renewable nature enhancing its status as a low carbon alternative to conventional building materials like steel and concrete. Moisture intrusion, coupled with the inherent organic nature of wood pose...

  • Design, Experimental Testing, and Numerical Analysis of a Three-Story Mass Timber Building with a Pivoting Spine and Buckling-Restrained Energy Dissipators

    Creator:
    Araújo R., Gustavo A.
    Abstract:
    The engineering community is increasingly moving towards the design of seismic force-resisting systems that limit post-earthquake damage and reduce downtime to increase urban resiliency. For example, structural spines can be used to provide an elastic load path to impose a more uniform drift distribution with building height, thereby reducing the...

  • Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

    Creator:
    Mirzaei, Babak
    Abstract:
    The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

  • Cross-Laminated Timber-Concrete Composite Floor Systems for Tall Building Design

    Creator:
    Morrell, Ian
    Abstract:
    With growing interest in mass timber, especially mass timber panels (MTP), there has been a need to better understand their structural properties. One of the most versatile uses for MTP are as floor systems. Under new code provisions, these floors can be utilized in new and taller building types, but...

  • Numerical Modeling of Mass Timber Connections

    Creator:
    Hollenbeck, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a prefabricated building material that is relatively new to the United States and North America. It consists of no less than three layers of graded, dimensional lumber glued in alternating longitudinal and transverse layers to create a panel that can be used for various building applications...

  • The Fundamental Behavior of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors in Fire

    Creator:
    Shephard, Annabel B.
    Abstract:
    Timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors have improved strength and stiffness when compared to timber-only floors, allowing for longer spans in buildings and improved life safety. However, North America does not have codes and standards that recognize TCC floors, particularly the improved life safety performance of these floors in fire. Therefore, alternate...

    Creator:
    Srivastava, Mohit Raja
    Abstract:
    Timber-concrete composite (TCC) solutions originated in the early twentieth century. There has been a renewed interest in TCC solutions in modern mass timber buildings, especially for floor systems. However due to lack of data, design standards, and code acceptance, TCC solutions require that new mass timber solutions be tested, and...
