  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Structural Response of High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites: Evaluation, Simulation, and Sensitivity Analysis

    Creator:
    Khlef, Feras L.
    Abstract:
    The constitutive behavior of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs) under mechanical loading is characterized by significant tensile properties that play an essential role in the structural response of several applications in structural engineering. The significance of tensile properties of HPFRCCs in structural engineering is the focus of three manuscripts presented...

  • 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...

  • Visualization of N-ary Relationships

    Creator:
    Qu, Botong
    Abstract:
    N-ary relationships, which relate N entities where N is not necessarily two, are omnipresent in real life. In this thesis, we develop a visualization technique for N-ary relationships. First, we propose a visual metaphor that utilizes vertices and polygons to represent entities and N-ary relationships. Based on this visual metaphor,...

  • Probabilistic Multi-hazard Earthquake-Tsunami Structural Risk Assessment Framework

    Creator:
    Alam, Mohammad Shafiqual
    Abstract:
    Catastrophic earthquake and tsunami events that resulted in significant loss of life and property over the past two decades have raised the global awareness regarding the need to understand the response of communities and their built environment to multi-hazard extreme events. In recognition to this impending threat to the coastal...
