Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

Creator:

Duncan, Sean M.

Abstract:

A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sean Duncan for the
Performance of High-Strength Steel Reinforcement in Shear Friction Applications

Creator:

Matus Casanova, Nicolas A.

Abstract:

The use of high strength steel reinforcement has the potential to provide economic and constructability benefits when used in reinforced concrete structures. However, more research is needed to justify and confidently allow its use. Current design provisions limit the nominal yield strength of reinforcing steel bars to 60 ksi (420...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:

Loving, Carly K.

Abstract:

To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...
