  • Development of an ACIP pile-specific load-displacement model

    Creator:
    Adami, Nasim
    Abstract:
    Augered cast-in-place piles, also known as ACIP piles, have been used for more than seven decades in the United States and have gained in popularity due to their relatively quick installation and cost-effectiveness. Owing to the reduced impact on the neighboring environment as compared to some other deep foundation installation...

  • Ultimate and serviceability limit state reliability-based axial capacity of deep foundations

    Creator:
    Reddy, Seth C.
    Abstract:
    Deep foundations are necessary for the construction of many structures, such as bridges and buildings, located in areas unsuitable for shallow foundations. Owing to the inherent variability of soil and the complex changes that occur in the soil adjacent to deep foundations as they are installed, the ability to accurately...

  • Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

    Creator:
    Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
    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...

  • Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

    Creator:
    Malone, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...
