Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

Testing and Modeling of a Cross-Laminated Timber Pier-and-Spandrel Seismic Retrofit Solution for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Creator:: Engleson, Renee M.
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an attractive building material because it is renewable, promotes fast installation, and possesses a high strength-to-weight ratio. The use of CLT in seismic applications has become increasingly common with the development of post-tensioned CLT rocking wall lateral force resisting systems (LFRS). The CLT pier-and-spandrel system designed,...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...

Development of a guideline for estimating tsunami forces on bridge superstructures

Creator:: Boon-intra, Sutaporn
Abstract:: Infrastructures along the Oregon Coast are vulnerable to seismic events in the Cascadia Subduction Zone that could generate large tsunamis. Bridges along the coast are an important part of the transportation and lifeline system in the area. The major damages on these bridges due to earthquake and/or tsunami would result...

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...

In-Plane Shear Performance of Cross-laminated Timber and Cross-laminated Timber Concrete Composite Diaphragm Connection Systems

Creator:: Taylor, Brad
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels have been gaining popularity as diaphragm elements in mid- to high-rise construction projects. In addition, CLT-concrete composite (CCC) diaphragms have been implemented to expand the use of CLT diaphragms. To understand the behavior of CLT and CCC diaphragms, this research effort sought to characterize the cyclic,...

Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

Creator:: Cawley, Jessica Grace
Abstract:: Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

Image rectification tool for evaluation of gusset plate connections in steel truss bridges

Creator:: Nguyen, Quang D.
Abstract:: A methodology was developed to permit rectification and metrification of digital images of steel truss gusset plate connections. The approach will enable rapid and accurate collection of field measurements as compared to traditional methods to enable structural evaluation of gusset plate connections. The program enables the operator to quickly create...

Wind induced torsional fatigue behavior of truss bridge verticals

Creator:: Keller, Philipp
Abstract:: The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a 6.6 kilometer (4.1 mile) long bridge, connecting Oregon and Washington on US 101, with a continuous steel truss main span of 376 m (1232 ft). It is the second longest main span bridge of this type in the world. Due to vortex shedding, some of...

Elevated Temperature Effects on the Shear Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Wall-to-Floor Bracket Connection

Creator:: Mahr, Kolton J.
Abstract:: Connections in mass timber structural systems dissipate energy and transfer lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls and diaphragms, providing critical load paths. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent mass timber material used to manufacture wall and floor assemblies. Fire performance research of CLT walls and floors...
