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....

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...
