  • Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

    Creator:
    Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
    Abstract:
    Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...

  • 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...

  • Multi-scale Investigation of Adhesive Bond Durability

    Creator:
    McKinley, Paige Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

  • 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...

  • Cyclic performance of connections used in hybrid cross-laminated timber

    Creator:
    Mahdavifar, Vahid
    Abstract:
    One of the recent additions to the panoply of engineered wood products is cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a prefabricated, large-scale, solid wood panel that consists of multiple layers of lumbers stacked together, with each layer arranged perpendicular to the next layer, glued with structural grade adhesives, and pressed. The...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

    Creator:
    Thorp, Tiana Noelani
    Abstract:
    Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...
