  • Predicting the thermo-mechanical behavior of a gypsum-to-wood nailed connection

    Creator:
    Fuller, James J.
    Abstract:
    With high costs of testing and rating a structural system for fire resistance, the utilization of computer simulations that approximate the integrity of structural subsystems could conceivably reduce development costs. Before an analysis of a light-frame wood system can occur, information on the components of the substructure must be known....

  • Historic Farm Structures As Material Culture : An Oregon Study

    Creator:
    Judge, Barbara C.
    Abstract:
    The thesis is a case study of two traditional family farms that were settled in Oregon in 1850 and 1915. The study embraces the theory that material culture reflects customs and values. The material culture indicators within the study are the architectural structures of the Oregon farms. The study filters...

  • Development of the simplified method to evaluate dynamic mechanical analysis data on asphalt-aggregate mixtures

    Creator:
    Ab-Wahab, Yunus Bin
    Abstract:
    Testing of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures using dynamic mechanical analysis is becoming popular with improvements in high-speed computers, precision equipment, and computer software. Researchers are trying to describe the behavior of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures in terms of their time- and temperature-dependent linear viscoelastic behavior. The objectives of...

  • Development of performance based test procedures for asphalt mixtures

    Creator:
    Kliewer, Julie E.
    Abstract:
    In 1987, Congress authorized a 5 year $150 million dollar research program called the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). SHRP was divided into four major areas, including the asphalt research program. The asphalt research program was divided into six major research contracts, one such contract, SHRP-003A was called Performance Related...
