Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

Creator:: Carroll, Cameron T.
Abstract:: Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...

Virtual Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Assessment of Curb Ramps Using Lidar Point Clouds: A Framework to Simulate Digital Inclinometers for Slope Measurements

Creator:: Zhou, Yang
Abstract:: A curb ramp is an indispensable ramp system in the transportation network that provides a transition between a sidewalk and a roadway. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the design, construction, and maintenance of curb ramps meet the ADA standards. However, many existing curb ramps are noncompliant, as...

Uplift capacity and displacement of helical anchors in cohesive soil

Creator:: Young, Jessica
Abstract:: Helical anchors are a type of deep foundation element that can be installed quickly in almost any location and can accept the immediate application of operational loads. The use of helical anchors has expanded in recent decades from its established application in the power transmission industry to more traditional civil...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

Ultimate and serviceability limit state reliability-based axial capacity of deep foundations

Creator:: Reddy, Seth C.
Abstract:: Deep foundations are necessary for the construction of many structures, such as bridges and buildings, located in areas unsuitable for shallow foundations. Owing to the inherent variability of soil and the complex changes that occur in the soil adjacent to deep foundations as they are installed, the ability to accurately...

Tsunami loading on light-frame wood structures

Creator:: Linton, David B.
Abstract:: Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significant loss of life and damage to the coastal communities impacted by these powerful waves. The resulting devastation...

The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

Creator:: Bañuelos, José
Abstract:: High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....

The influence of seismic attack and chloride-induced corrosion on a life cycle inventory assessment of different concrete mixtures

Creator:: Christiansen, Joshua W.
Abstract:: The life cycle assessment (LCA) process is a systematic approach to determining the environmental impacts of different products and processes. LCA is a relative approach that requires functional equivalence for the results to be compared. A method is presented that achieves functional equivalence by equating the reliability indexes being compared....

The evaluation of the field vane shear strength analysis of the Glen Aiken creek embankment failure

Creator:: Clarke, James Dennis
Abstract:: A post-failure investigation of a highway embankment constructed over organic and sensitive subsoils was made with a series of field vane tests. The results indicated that the embankment was quite stable, and, therefore, the reliabilities of both the Φ = 0 slip-circle analysis and the field vane results seemed to...

The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

Creator:: Anderson, Erin N.
Abstract:: Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...
