  • A BIM-based Simulation Framework for Fire Evacuation Planning

    Creator:
    Sun, Qi
    Abstract:
    Fire hazards threaten human life and property safety. Since it is unrealistic to study human behavior during a real fire hazard, computational tools are a better choice to computational tools are a better choice to simulate fire growth and human behavior for predicting evacuation performance in chaotic emergency situations. Although...

  • A calculation of the suction requirements to prevent boundary layer separation on a circular cyclinder

    Creator:
    Corsiglia, Victor R.
    Abstract:
    An investigation was made to test the method of Head on the flow about a circular cylinder with suction. The method of Head is an approximate method of obtaining solutions to the boundary layer equations. The method was adapted to the digital computer to facilitate performing the calculations, and a...

  • A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

    Creator:
    Lee, Chyuan-shen
    Abstract:
    A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

  • A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

    Creator:
    Li, Chang
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • A discrete numerical study of micromechanics of sand liquefaction

    Creator:
    Zhang, Lei
    Abstract:
    Liquefaction of saturated granular material due to cyclic loading can result in catastrophic damage to the built environment. The mechanics of liquefaction have been previously studied through field testing, physical modeling, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations. However, significant questions remain with respect to the particle-scale behavior of granular materials during...

  • A formal model of construction safety and health risk management

    Creator:
    Hallowell, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    Despite recent efforts to improve site safety, construction still accounts for a disproportionate injury and illness rate. According to the 2007 injury and illness data released by the National Safety Council, the construction industry has a fatality and disabling injury rate that is approximately three times higher than the all-industry...

  • A Full-Scale Experimental Investigation of the Bearing Performance of Aggregate Pier-Supported Shallow Foundations

    Creator:
    Martin, John P.
    Abstract:
    Aggregate piers have been used for centuries, with increasing occurrence in the last few decades. Their usage has been driven by land development demand and enabled through equipment and engineering improvements. Understanding the principles controlling bearing capacities and serviceability performance has been an ongoing area of interest for structures supported...

    Creator:
    DeBok, Donald H.
    Abstract:
    The results of three hydraulic model tests to evaluate the stability of a placed stone breakwater are presented and discussed. The prototype breakwater was designed to protect offshore power and port facilities in 60 feet of water and was tested at scale ratios of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100. The armor...
