A procedure for rapid visual screening for seismic safety of wood-frame dwellings with plan irregularity

Creator:: Lucksiri, Kraisorn, Miller, Thomas H., Gupta, Rakesh, Pei, Shiling, and van de Lindt, John W.
Abstract:: This paper highlights the development of a rapid visual screening (RVS) tool to quickly identify, inventory, and rank residential buildings that are potentially seismically hazardous, focusing on single-family, wood-frame dwellings with plan irregularity. The SAPWood software was used to perform a series of nonlinear time-history analyses for 480 representative models,...

Risk analysis procedure for woodframe roof sheathing panel debris impact to windows in hurricanes

Creator:: Dao, Thang N., van de Lindt, John W., Prevatt, David O., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The assessment of losses during extreme events such as hurricanes is important for performance-based design of residential buildings. In this paper, a methodology for estimating the risk of debris impact, specifically roof sheathing panels, to windows as a result of hurricanes is introduced and applied to an illustrative example. The...

Sustainable Development and Green Buildings

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Kutnar, Andreja
Abstract:: Global sustainability goals have led to the development of the green building movement. The Green Building Program, stemming from the movement, has had unprecedented success as it provides a quantifi able metric to people’s efforts towards sustainable development. Sustainable development and green buildings are often used interchangeably. Although, sustainable development...

Thermal degradation of bending properties of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Nairn, John A.
Abstract:: Wood and wood-based composites are being used extensively in single-family residential dwellings. Therefore, it is important to categorize their response when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. In fire-resistant design for wood structures, the main goal is to ensure that enough structural integrity is maintained, during...

Characterizing the strength of wood truss joints

Creator:: Gupta, Rakesh, Gebremedhin, Kifle G., and Grigoriu, M. D.
Abstract:: Probability density functions (normal, lognormal, and three-parameter Weibull) were used to characterize strength data for three different types of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints (web at the bottom chord, tension splice, and heel). Modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the lumber used to fabricate the joints was also characterized. A probability-plot technique,...

Mechanical stress grading of dahurian larch structural lumber

Creator:: Gupta, Rakesh, Ethington, Robert L., and Green, David W.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to test a method under development for assigning allowable properties to foreign species graded by American Lumber Standard machine-stress-rated (MSR) rules. The method was tested on dahurian larch (Larix dahurica), a major softwood species that grows in the Russian Far East and could be...

Probabilistic procedure for wood-frame roof sheathing panel debris impact to windows in hurricanes

Creator:: Dao, Thang N., van de Lindt, John W., Prevatt, David O., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The assessment of losses during extreme events such as hurricanes is important for performance-based design of residential buildings. In this paper, a methodology for estimating the probability of debris impact, specifically roof sheathing panels, to windows as a result of hurricanes is introduced and applied to a series of illustrative...

Database-assisted design methodology to predict wind-induced structural behavior of a light-framed wood building

Creator:: Mensah, Akwasi F., Datin, Peter L., Prevatt, David O., Gupta, Rakesh, and van de Lindt, John W.
Abstract:: This study investigates the applicability of the database-assisted design (DAD) methodology to predict structural reactions in a light-framed wood structure subjected to fluctuating wind pressures. Structural influence functions were determined on a 1/3-scale light-frame wood structure, which was then subjected to a wind flow, while the surface pressures and structural...

Practical Analysis for Horizontal Diaphragm Design of Wood-Frame Single-Family Dwellings

Creator:: Kirkham, William J., Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: Seismic design of wood-frame single-family dwellings’ (WFSFD) lateral force–resisting systems requires determination of the stiffness of horizontal diaphragms and shearwalls. During design, sizes and locations of shearwall openings are often changed, altering shearwall stiffness and loads and requiring a significant redesign effort. Rigid and tributary area method analyses are examined...

Evaluation of Tsunami Loads on Wood-Frame Walls at Full Scale

Creator:: Linton, David, Gupta, Rakesh, Cox, Dan, van de Lindt, John, Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth, and Clauson, Milo
Abstract:: The performance of full-scale light-frame wood walls subjected to wave loading was examined using the Large Wave Flume of the Network for Earthquake Engineering (NEES) Tsunami Facility at Oregon State University. The hydrodynamic conditions (water level and bore speed) and structural response (horizontal force, pressure, and deflection) were observed for...

Gravity and Wind Load Path Analysis of a Light-Frame and a Traditional Timber Frame Building

Creator:: Malone, Brian P., Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compare structural load path and system behavior of a light-frame (LF) and a timber frame (TF) structure. This load path analysis is part of a broader research effort that compares LF to TF residential structures. Structural analysis software was used to create a...

Practical Modeling for Wind Load Paths in a Realistic Light-Frame Wood House

Creator:: Pfretzschner, Kathryn S., Gupta, Rakesh, and Miller, Thomas H.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

Behavior of cross-laminated timber diaphragm connections with self-tapping screws

Creator:: Sullivan, Kyle, Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh
Abstract:: Monotonic and cyclic tests were carried out to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with 8 mm and 10 mm diameter self-tapping screws. The goal of this research is to compare test values of cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragm connections in seismic force-resisting systems...
