Influence of silt size and content on static liquefaction potential of sand

Creator:: Monkul, M. Murat
Abstract:: Different specimen preparation methods such as moist tamping, dry funnel deposition, slurry deposition, dry air pluviation have been reported in the literature to investigate the undrained behavior of silty sands. Similarly, different means have been used to densify the soils prepared with such methods. However, the influence of the densification...

Development of a new mixture proportioning method and assessing the influence of material characteristics on flowing concrete mixtures

Creator:: Hendrix, Greg
Abstract:: Cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles are often constructed to depths that are inaccessible to internal vibration of the concrete. Internal vibration is necessary to consolidate the concrete and, if not performed, then typically inspection pipes are necessary to detect the presence of voids in CIDH piles. Void detection is critical to assessing...

Behavior of gypsum-sheathed cold-formed steel wall stud panels

Creator:: Lee, Young-ki
Abstract:: This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation for Wall-Braced Wall Stud Columns. The purpose of Part A is to develop experimentally-based limiting heights...

Evaluation of Oregon Tack Coat Performance to Reduce Tracking and Increase Interlayer Shear Strength of Asphalt Pavements

Creator:: Covey, David J.
Abstract:: CSS-1H is the most commonly used slow-setting emulsion grade in Oregon. “New” engineered emulsions were recently developed in Oregon to reduce tracking, the pick-up of tack coats by construction vehicle tires during construction activities, and increase interlayer shear strength (ISS), the amount of adhesive bond present between layers of asphalt...

Optimizing the performance of gypsum wall board in wood frame shear walls

Creator:: Goodall, Scott I.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%,...

Finite element modeling of gusset plate failure using OpenSees

Creator:: Walker, Andrew J.
Abstract:: The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

Influence of transport parameters on the fresh and hardened characteristics of ready-mixed concrete

Creator:: Chen, Jiaming
Abstract:: Most specifications for ready-mix concrete (RMC) limit mixing time to 90 minutes and/or truck drum revolution counts (DRC) to 300 before discharge. These specifications have been in place for many years with the objective of ensuring the quality and performance of the finished concrete product. However, limited research has been...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: research indicate that mixing time and truck DRC have no detrimental effects on the mechanical properties

Flexural steel anchorage performance at diagonal crack locations

Creator:: Triska, Mary Ann
Abstract:: Large numbers of reinforced concrete deck girder bridges that were constructed during the interstate system expansion of the 1950s have developed diagonal cracking in the stems. Compared to the present AASHTO-LRFD standards, the provisions of the 1950s allowed for higher shear stress in the concrete, thus reducing the amount of...

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

The Effects of Construction Practices on Concrete Construction Joint Performance

Creator:: Panduranga Setty, Shreyas
Abstract:: Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. When constructing large concrete structures, concrete may have to be placed in multiple lifts. In these cases, fresh concrete is placed on hardened concrete. The interface that is formed between these two lifts of concrete is known as a...
