  • 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...

  • Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

    Creator:
    Carroll, Cameron T.
    Abstract:
    Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...

  • Uranium and technetium bio-immobilization in intermediate-scale physical models of an in situ bio-barrier

    Creator:
    Michalsen, Mandy M.
    Abstract:
    Metal and hydrogen ion acidity and extreme nitrate concentrations typical of Department of Energy (DOE) legacy waste sites pose formidable challenges to successful implementation of in situ bio-immobilization. Intermediate-scale (~ 2.5 m), flow through models of an in situ bio-barrier were constructed to investigate U and Tc removal from groundwater...
