  • Multi-Scale Approach to Evaluating Moisture Durability of Wood-Based Composites

    Creator:
    Way, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    The majority of low-rise residential structures in the U.S. are constructed with wood. Wood-based composites are primary building materials in these structures, used as structural sheathing, joists, and beam components. Wood composites are susceptible to degradation upon exposure to high levels of moisture. Moisture durability is routinely assessed with accelerated...

  • The Fundamental Behavior of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors in Fire

    Creator:
    Shephard, Annabel B.
    Abstract:
    Timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors have improved strength and stiffness when compared to timber-only floors, allowing for longer spans in buildings and improved life safety. However, North America does not have codes and standards that recognize TCC floors, particularly the improved life safety performance of these floors in fire. Therefore, alternate...

  • 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...

  • Experimental Testing of Glue-Laminated Beam-to-Column Connections

    Creator:
    Madland, Haley
    Abstract:
    The behavior of mass timber beam-to-column connections under seismic loading is not yet well understood. Mass timber beam-to-column connections must have the ability to maintain load-carrying capacity despite the deformations that will be imposed on all components of the building during seismic events. This behavior is called deformation compatibility. The...
