Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

Creator:: Duncan, Sean M.
Abstract:: A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

Testing and Modeling of a Cross-Laminated Timber Pier-and-Spandrel Seismic Retrofit Solution for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Creator:: Engleson, Renee M.
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an attractive building material because it is renewable, promotes fast installation, and possesses a high strength-to-weight ratio. The use of CLT in seismic applications has become increasingly common with the development of post-tensioned CLT rocking wall lateral force resisting systems (LFRS). The CLT pier-and-spandrel system designed,...

Numerical method for calculating construction pore pressures in embankments

Creator:: Steward, John Erwin
Abstract:: A computer program was developed for estimating construction pore pressures in embankments without drainage at any location in the embankment at any time during construction. This program incorporated a modification of the Hilf-Brantz method of pore pressure calculation and a finite element method of stress computation. Previous methods of calculating...

Evaluation of finite element techniques for soil reinforcement applications

Creator:: Berg, Ryan Robert
Abstract:: A literature review and a computer study are conducted to identify the requirements of finite element programs for the specific use of discrete analyses of reinforced soil structures. The utility of six commercially available programs are appraised with respect to the identified requirements. The results of the study are directed...

Evaluation of crumb rubber modified mixtures using performance based analyses

Creator:: Saxton, Robert W.
Abstract:: This study investigated the laboratory performance of crumb rubber modified mixtures compared to a standard bituminous mixture using performance based test procedures. This study was part of an asphalt resurfacing program for the Seattle Washington area. Laboratory analyses were used to estimate the long term pavement performance of these mixtures...

Evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure

Creator:: Lavansiri, Direk
Abstract:: An evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure is made. The study includes a parametric analy sis using layered elastic theory and a series of large scale model tests. The parametric. study analyzes the stresses and strains of roadway structures with a fabric layer between tna surface layer and...

Evaluation of ground motion duration effects on the damage prediction of building and bridge structural and soil-structural systems

Creator:: Belejo, Andre
Abstract:: The role of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of civil engineering structures remains unclear. Thus, the role of earthquake strong ground motion duration is assessed in a three manuscript thesis, which includes: (1) assessment of the effects of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of a model...

Fabric reinforcement of low embankments on soft foundations

Creator:: Greenway, Daryl Rodney
Abstract:: Nonlinear large deflection finite element analyses of a fabric reinforced embankment on muskeg were performed to predict fabric tension and the effect of fabric stiffness on embankment deflections. The predicted fabric tensions were compared with the results of a sliding block analysis, and show this simple analysis requires further correlation...
