Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

Creator:

Bultena, Sarah M.

Abstract:

Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...

Freeze-thaw durability of reinforced concrete deck girders strengthened for shear with surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer

Creator:

Mitchell, Mikal Maxwell

Abstract:

Long-term durability of surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge members remains uncertain due to the limited field experience with these materials. This paper provides experimental results from the testing of full-scale RC bridge girder specimens after exposure to prolonged freeze-thaw cycling. CFRP...

Scale effects on reinforced concrete beams strengthened for shear with discrete externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps

Creator:

Dawson, Matthew Ryan

Abstract:

Current ACI design provisions for shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps may not adequately account for the effect of scale. This paper describes tests of 6 geometrically scaled beams to identify possible scale effects of such beams. Results indicated that effective...
