Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

Creator:: Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

A novel framework for uncertainty propagation in river systems based on performance graphs using two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling

Creator:: Gifford-Miears, Christopher H.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a novel approach for propagation of uncertainty in river systems. Errors in data observations and predictions (e.g., stream inflows), in model parameters, and resulting from the discretization of continuous systems, all point to the need to accurately quantify the amount of uncertainty carried through the modeling process....

Stochastic analysis of the nonlinear response transition behavior of an ocean system

Creator:: Yuk, Dongjun
Abstract:: The nonlinear response of an ocean system subjected to random excitations can exhibit very complex dynamic behaviors including jump phenomena and coexistence of attractors. In this study, the stochastic system response behavior of a simple (Duffing) oscillator under narrow-band random excitations is first examined in the subharmonic resonance region. A...

Adjacent structure response sensitivity to seismic events using the direct differentiation method

Creator:: White, William S.
Abstract:: The response of adjacent structural systems to earthquake motions is investigated using the finite element framework OpenSees. Results of sensitivity analyses demonstrate that structural response quantities can increase in either or both of the adjacent structures for specific configurations. The structural models used include steel moment-resisting frames and rigid shear...

Optimization and control of cable deployment systems

Creator:: Mtira, Mohamed
Abstract:: An optimization methodology, algorithms, and computer program for cable/lumped-body deployment system are developed for the design and installation of sonar packages in deep ocean ranges. In addition, a methodology and algorithms for the control of the system are proposed. A penalty function is developed in terms of the system parameters...

Right-hook crash causality at signalized intersections

Creator:: Jannat, Mafruhatul
Abstract:: A Right-hook (RH) crash is a common type of bicycle-motor vehicle crash that occurs between a right-turning vehicle and through-moving bicycle at an intersection. At signalized intersections, RH crashes can occur at the onset of the green or during the latter portion of the green phase. In spite of the...

Effects of Moisture Intrusion on the Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Angle Bracket Connection

Creator:: Bora, Shrenik S.
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is revolutionizing the use of wood in the construction sector of North America as a solution for walls and diaphragms in mid-rise or even high-rise timber structures on account of its environmental advantages, high strength-to-weight ratio, fire-safety performance, and propensity for prefabrication. However, considering the hygroscopic nature...

Post-wildfire Investigation of Civil Infrastructure Following the 2018 Camp Fire

Creator:: Schulze, Stefanie S.
Abstract:: Wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities, where forested land boundaries or intermixes with infrastructure, are quickly growing in the US. WUI communities have grown substantially from 1990 to 2010, with an increase of 12.7 million houses and 25 million people. Wildfires encroaching on WUI communities can cause damage to both above ground...

Evaluation of ocean wave-induced liquefaction in a large scale wave flume

Creator:: Thielen, David Leo
Abstract:: Ocean waves propagating over cohesionless seabed deposits produce cyclic shear stresses within the deposit. Under certain conditions these stresses may cause a progressive build-up of pore pressure. Pore pressure accumulation can result in liquefaction or a substantial decrease in the effective stress with attendant large deformations of the seabed deposit....
