Finite element modeling of reinforced concrete bridge columns with steel jackets using plastic hinge integration

Creator:

Carlton, Adam K.

Abstract:

In recent years confinement requirements for concrete columns have increased in seismic regions. Steel jackets are one way to confine reinforced concrete columns. The increased confinement provides additional strength and ductility for the columns during seismic events. For reinforced concrete columns with steel jackets, there are different section properties in...

Masters Thesis
Investigation of the behavior of diagonally cracked full-scale CRC deck-girders injected with epoxy resin and subjected to axial tension

Creator:

Smith, Matthew T. (Matthew Todd)

Abstract:

Article 1: Behavior of Epoxy Injected Diagonally Cracked Full-Scale CRC Deck-Girders. Many cast-in place reinforced concrete deck-girder bridges (RCDG) remain in the national inventory and exhibit diagonal cracking. Epoxy injection has been in use for several decades as a method for sealing diagonal cracks, but the effects on girder behavior...

Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

Creator:

Bultena, Sarah M.

Abstract:

Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...
