Performance of wood frame wall with thin shell ECC shear panel

Creator:: Lewis, Michael C.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: J (42600 lb-in). Overall, the test results indicate that the WCC is comparable with or superior to

Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

Creator:: Koester, Carl C.
Abstract:: Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...

Use of Flashing Lights in Traffic Safety of Vulnerable Road Users

Creator:: Ahmed, Ananna
Abstract:: Vulnerable road users, anyone interacting with the roadway facility without the protection of an automobile, experience greater risk for more severe crash outcomes. Multimodal roadway facilities often times provide less separation and more points of conflict between different types of road users. To promote vulnerable road user safety, transportation agencies...

Automated Monitoring of Construction Operations for Data-Driven Decision Making

Creator:: Rashid, Khandakar, M.
Abstract:: The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...

Effects of soil slope on lateral capacity of piles in cohesive soils

Creator:: Nimityongskul, Nontapat
Abstract:: Pile supported bridges are typically constructed near or in a natural or man-made slope and are subjected to lateral loading. The current design method for laterally loaded piles involves the use of Winkler's spring concept with the standard nonlinear p-y curves. The available p-y curves were developed based on results...

Behavior of open grid steel bridge decks under service and fatigue loads

Creator:: Fetzer, Peter C.
Abstract:: Open grid steel bridge decks have been in use for nearly a century. These open grid decks provide an economical and lightweight alternative to traditional reinforced concrete decks. As the transportation infrastructure continues to deteriorate, open grid decks can be used as a cost effective way to rehabilitate structurally deficient...

Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

Automated Chemical Acidification Testing of Cementitious Materials

Creator:: Zaw, Myo
Abstract:: Due to its availability, versatility, structural capability, and economic advantages, concrete is the most widely used material in building sewer networks and other wastewater structures such as treatment stations, wastewater digesters, septic tanks, pumping stations, hydraulic risers, utility risers and covers, etc. Concrete structures exposed to sewer environments can experience...

A BIM-based Simulation Framework for Fire Evacuation Planning

Creator:: Sun, Qi
Abstract:: Fire hazards threaten human life and property safety. Since it is unrealistic to study human behavior during a real fire hazard, computational tools are a better choice to computational tools are a better choice to simulate fire growth and human behavior for predicting evacuation performance in chaotic emergency situations. Although...

Improving Safety on Construction Sites by Using Real Time Sensor Data to Monitor Worker Field-of-View and Proximity to Hazards and Reduce the Generation of False Positive Alarms

Creator:: Chan, Kelsey
Abstract:: The construction industry is infamously recognized for having jobsites identified as hazardous working environments due to workers-on-foot commonly functioning at dangerous heights and in close proximity to other construction entities, among other reasons. These hazardous operations result in an increased risk of worker injuries and fatalities caused by fall hazards...
