The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

Creator:: Redus, James Aaron
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Bhandari, Sujit
Abstract:: Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

Reassessment of Grading Criteria with Respect to the Flexural Properties of Douglas-fir Crossarms

Creator:: Anderson, Christopher H.
Abstract:: Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...

Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

Creator:: Sullivan, Kyle
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....

Use of Virtual Visual Sensors in the Determination of Natural Frequencies of Timber Structures for Structural Health Monitoring

Creator:: Walker, Kristopher
Abstract:: Many nondestructive techniques for structural health monitoring are subjective and based on visual observations of degradation. In addition, dynamic properties of structures are already used to obtain quantitative structural health data. However, most current data collection is limited to localized damage on the structure, rather than global response. Recent research...

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...

Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

Creator:: Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

Evaluation of remediation techniques for circular holes in the webs of wood I-joists

Creator:: Polocoser, Tiberiu
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to evaluate methods to remediate a wood I-joist with a single, circular hole in the web while leaving utilities in place. The methods were experimentally evaluated with a full-scale bending test using four equally spaced point loads. There were three depths of joists with...

Tsunami loading on light-frame wood structures

Creator:: Linton, David B.
Abstract:: Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significant loss of life and damage to the coastal communities impacted by these powerful waves. The resulting devastation...
