Discrete compression web bracing design for light-frame wood trusses

Creator:

Waltz, Miles E.

Abstract:

As part of a roof framing system, light-frame wood trusses often require lateral bracing to reduce the effective length for flexural buckling of compression web members. This observational research investigates the design requirements for discrete compression web bracing intended to provide such lateral support. Four simple brace analysis methods based...

Measurement of the rates of reductive dechlorination of chlorinated phenols

Creator:

Nicholson, David K.

Abstract:

Knowledge of a compound's degradation pathway is crucial to the assessment of risk at contaminated sites. Pentachlorophenol and its metabolic products can serve as model compounds to study the fate and transport of halogenated aromatic compounds in the environment. Acclimation of anaerobic sewage sludge to pentachlorophenol produced a microbial consortium...

The Effects of Temperature on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Concrete

Creator:

Coyle, Alex T.

Abstract:

Measuring resistivity as a method to calculate formation factor is becoming a popular way to evaluate transport properties of concrete. Resistivity measurements are dependent on multiple factors including the resistivity of the pore solution, leaching effects, the degree of saturation of the specimen, the age of the specimen (degree of...
