  • Numerical assessment of steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system design procedure

    Creator:
    Li, Wennan
    Abstract:
    The Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system, is an innovative seismic lateral force resistant system, which has experienced increased use over the last three decades. The SPSW system is composed of boundary elements which anchor web plates that develop diagonal tension fields. A number of SPSW buildings have been built...

  • Multi-hazard framework and analysis of soil-bridge systems : long duration earthquake and tsunami loading

    Creator:
    Carey, Trevor J.
    Abstract:
    During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...

  • Seismic performance of diagrid steel structures using single and double friction mass dampers

    Creator:
    Ramadhan, Garlan
    Abstract:
    The steel diagrid structural system is a recent load bearing and lateral resisting structural system for tall building structures that is relatively unexplored in the western United States. One possible reason for the little use of diagrid systems in earthquake prone regions is the lack of guidelines and application examples...

  • Effect of subduction zone earthquakes on SDOF bridge models

    Creator:
    Long, Yicheng
    Abstract:
    Current bridge design codes do not account for the effects of duration of mega-thrust subduction zone earthquakes. Furthermore, codes and even recent performance-based design methodologies only make use of the peak response quantities (forces, displacements, and ductility demands) and do not account for the increased number of inelastic cycles that...

  • Development of rapid visual screening tool for seismic evaluation of wood-frame dwellings

    Creator:
    Lucksiri, Kraisorn
    Abstract:
    During the past several decades, earthquakes have caused extensive damage to buildings, including wood-frame, single-family dwellings, in the United States. In order to mitigate future losses, existing buildings in earthquake prone areas should be evaluated for their seismic safety. This is also an important issue for buildings in Oregon due...

  • Autogenous deformation and chemical shrinkage of high performance cementitious systems

    Creator:
    Fu, Tengfei
    Abstract:
    In the past ten years, renewed research interest has shown the benefits of internal curing by incorporating saturated lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) in high performance concrete (HPC). As a result, the technology of internal curing has steadily progressed from laboratory studies to field applications. To determine the optimum LWFA content,...

  • Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • A numerical wave tank based on coupled potential flow-viscous flow model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a coupled potential flow-viscous flow model is used for numerical wave tank simulation. The solver satisfies all the requirements for such a simulation environment. The coupling scheme is based on a non-overlapping heterogeneous domain decomposition method. In this method, the flow domain consists of two subdomains. In...

  • Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

    Creator:
    Kirkham, William J.
    Abstract:
    There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...
