In-plane Creep Behavior of Cross-laminated Timber and Mass Plywood Panels: A Methodology to Evaluate the Long-term Performance of Post-Tensioned Mass Timber Walls

Creator:: Longman, Ryan P.
Abstract:: Post-tensioned (PT) self-centering shear walls were designed to reduce structural damage from seismic activity. However, these lateral force resistant systems experience post-tension loss negatively affecting the re-centering capability due to delayed deformations experienced by engineered wood products over time. The long-term mechanical response of mass-timber panels to in-plane PT loads...

Development of a method to elucidate biodegradation pathways of chlorinated one and two carbon compounds using a gas-permeable-membrane-supported methylotrophic biofilm

Creator:: Ryan, Kelly M.
Abstract:: A gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm consisting of methylotrophic bacteria was effective in degrading chlorinated methanes, ethanes, and ethenes. The biofilm was developed on a gas-permeable fabric (Goretex, W.L.Gore & Associates, Elkton, Maryland) that divided a reactor vessel into a liquid compartment and a gas compartment. Goretex is a nylon-backed teflon mesh...
