Simulation of Heat Transfer Through Soil for the Investigation of Wildfire Impacts on Buried Utilities

Creator:

Richter, Edward G.

Abstract:

Wildland urban interface (WUI) communities in the Western United States have recently dealt with historic and devastating wildfires year after year. The fires have cost tens of billions in damage, burned tens of thousands of structures, displaced thousands of residents, and killed over one hundred people. The 2017 Tubbs fire...

Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:

Gordon, James A.

Abstract:

Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

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...
