Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kittel, Mark
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

Evaluation of the environmental conditioning system as a water sensitivity test for asphalt concrete mixtures

Creator:: Allen, Wendy L.
Abstract:: The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS...

Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:: Elkins, Lori A.
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

Evaluation of the torsion test for determining the shear strength of structural lumber

Creator:: Heck, Leanne Renee
Abstract:: The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

Internal curing of high-performance concrete for bridge decks

Creator:: Deboodt, Tyler
Abstract:: High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of...

Shrinkage study of high performance concrete for bridge decks

Creator:: Fu, Tengfei
Abstract:: In the field of civil infrastructure, bridge desks are typically constructed using high performance concrete (HPC). Concrete bridge decks demand qualities such as low permeability, high abrasion resistance, superior durability, and long design life. Over decades of field and laboratory experience, many HPC bridge decks have been found to be...

Evaluation of water damage on asphalt concrete mixtures using the environmental conditioning system

Creator:: Al-Joaib, Ali Abdulla
Abstract:: Asphalt concrete pavement is subjected to several damaging actions from traffic loads, water (from precipitation and/or groundwater sources), and temperature. The durability of the asphalt-aggregate mixture, its ability to withstand these damaging actions for long periods, is a very important engineering property. While the durability of the asphalt-aggregates mixture depends...

Bearing capacity and immediate settlement of shallow foundations on clay

Creator:: Strahler, Andrew W.
Abstract:: Shallow foundations are extensively used to support structures of all sizes and derive their support from near surface soils. Thus, they are typically embedded up to a few meters into the soil profile. Designers of shallow foundations are required to meet two limit states: overall failure of the soil beneath...
