  • Strain distribution in OSB and GWB in wood frame shear walls

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this study was to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. More specifically the objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate qualitatively the load sharing between OSB...

  • Web buckling failure of built-up girders with rectangular holes

    Creator:
    Cato, Stuart Leslie
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigated the methods of failure in the webs of built up girders. The beams had rectangular holes five and one-half inches wide and seven and one-half inches high with rounded corners in a web fourteen inches deep between flanges. The longitudinal position of the hole edge varied from...

  • The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

    Creator:
    Anderson, Erin N.
    Abstract:
    Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...

  • Static and cyclic response of ecoroof soil

    Creator:
    Kraupa, Travis J.
    Abstract:
    Green technology in the United States has been on the rise over the past few decades in the United States. However, certain green technologies have been developed in the absence of design standards. Ecoroofs, which are vegetated soil masses placed on the top of a building’s roof structure, present several...
