Exploring Civil Engineering Undergraduate and Practitioners’ Performance on Strength of Materials Concept Inventory

Creator:: Sanchez, Dominga
Abstract:: Preparing successful engineering undergraduate students for the workforce is imperative and requires students to apply their conceptual understanding of engineering fundamentals to engineering design work. Conceptual understanding is assessed through the use of concept inventories. Learning theories may help explain differences in concept inventory performance. Expert novice theory suggests that...

Post-Earthquake Performance Assessment of Steel Strongback Braced Frames

Creator:: Rhoades, Katharine
Abstract:: Traditional braced frames are an efficient and economic means of resisting seismic demands. However, braced frames are prone to story mechanisms, which can result in concentrations of demands and damage during seismic events. Including steel strongbacks in conjunction with traditional braced frames can mitigate story mechanisms. The SBF results in...

Improving Braced Frame Modeling Application

Creator:: Groshong, Corey
Abstract:: This work analyzes the numerical curvature of buckling braces. An existing brace modeling learning tool, which in its current state allows users to change the inputs within a simulated model of a braced element, was modified to display the curvature diagram. The curvature diagram was verified through comparison to existing...

Dual Purpose Utilization of Titanium Alloy Bars for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection and Near Surface Mounted Retrofit in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Creator:: Slawinski, Amanda K.
Abstract:: Many older reinforced concrete bridges and buildings in the United States are considered deficient due to past design codes that are not conservative, increased loading, and deterioration of structural components. Deterioration is most commonly caused by corrosion, which reduces the steel cross sectional area and damages the concrete cross section....

Seismic Performance of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Columns Including Soil Structure Interaction

Creator:: Parson, Lance
Abstract:: There are many existing bridges around the world that were designed without consideration for seismic effects. Many of these bridges were designed before modern earthquake engineering design standards and practices existed and thus are expected to perform poorly during strong ground shaking. Common structural deficiencies are found in their reinforced...

Finite Element Modeling Strategies for Seismic Collapse Assessment of Non-planar Slender Reinforced Concrete Structural Wall Resisting Systems

Creator:: Mohammed, Mohammed A.
Abstract:: For mid-rise and high rise buildings, slender reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are commonly used as the main structural elements to resist lateral applied loads in high seismically areas around the globe. These RC structural walls can provide substantial deformation capacity, stiffness, and lateral strength through the contribution of their...

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...

Experience of Women in STEM: Three Ways

Creator:: Andreyka, Elizabeth O.
Abstract:: The intent of this thesis is to develop three creative non-fiction essays exploring the experience of being an undergraduate woman in a STEM field. The essays will all take on variations in form, humor, and perspectives. The purpose is to explore the position of women in STEM and the different...

A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Self-compassion and Postpartum Self-help Literature

Creator:: Watkins, Danielle L.
Abstract:: The self-help literature is full of texts on both self-compassion and postpartum depression. However, there has been minimal scientific exploration of the literature on these topics. As such, mental health researchers and practitioners have little sense of the psycholinguistic discourse contained in this literature. This study aimed to fill this...

Linguistic, Personological Features, and Collocations of the Doka & Martin Grieving Style Continuum

Creator:: Geisler, James G.
Abstract:: Research on grief has been studied for nearly a century to understand its many facets, expressiveness, and timing. In the field of counseling, many changes in theories, models, and the lenses through which loss is responded to have been accomplished. However, one constant in the U.S. culture is that definitions...
