Load-deformation characteristics of multiple stump anchor systems

Creator:

Toupin, Richard C.

Abstract:

This paper documents the development of a model which determines multiple stump anchor system displacement as a response to skyline load for four anchor rigging configurations: 1. Series multiple, 2. Tieback, 3. Elevated tieback, and 4. Equalizer block. It also documents the field testing of four two stump anchors rigged...

Capstone Project
A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

Creator:

Lee, Chyuan-shen

Abstract:

A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

Dissertation
An evaluation of gap acceptance behavior at unsignalized intersections

Creator:

Nabaee, Sahar

Abstract:

Gap acceptance behavior is critical to the safety and operational performance of unsignalized intersections. The complex nature of the human behavior and its dependence on various socioeconomic and environmental parameters makes it challenging for transportation professionals to assess the performance of such intersections. To investigate the behavioral patterns of drivers...

Masters Thesis
Managing woody biomass transportation for improved biomass economics

Creator:

Han, Sang-Kyun

Abstract:

With rising fuel costs and enhanced environmental concerns, the use of renewable energy has been steadily considered and widely expounded as a solution to the challenges of global energy security and climate change. The use of woody biomass, in particular, has received considerable attention for energy production due to the...
