Risk and reliability associated with use and reuse of vertical formwork

Creator:: Das, Amrutha
Abstract:: Concrete formwork is a common type of temporary structure used on construction projects. Due to difficulties in considering actual construction site implications during formwork design, assessments of formwork integrity are often made in the field by site personnel based on subjective visual inspection. The use and re-use of concrete formwork...

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...

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...

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...

The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

Creator:: Bañuelos, José
Abstract:: High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....

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...

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....

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...

Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms

Creator:: Beairsto, Cody J.
Abstract:: Mass timber is emerging as a viable form of construction around the world in new markets for wood buildings. The entrance into these markets has driven the demand for more knowledge to enable designs alongside other structural materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber...
