  • Time-dependent deflection of Douglas fir beams in bending and shear modes

    Creator:
    Capell, Harry Thomas
    Abstract:
    Creep in wood has been observed since 1833 but only recently has it been studied quantitatively. The aim of this paper is to study the time-dependent deflections of Douglas fir, Coast Region beams in bending and shear modes. The general method of approach used is that of large scale observation....

  • A review of research on shear and diagonal tension in reinforced concrete beam

    Creator:
    Yang, Jui-Tsung
    Abstract:
    Resistance of reinforced concrete beams to diagonal tension was studied in a series of papers which included beams without web reinforcement and beams with various types of web reinforcement. The magnitude of the loading causing the formation of initial diagonal tension cracks depended primarily on the dimensions of the cross...

  • The computer, the computer user group, and the civil engineer

    Creator:
    Cunningham, Gerald Robert
    Abstract:
    An attempt to determine the relationship between the computer, the computer program exchange organization and today's practicing civil engineer has just been completed. A questionnaire was used to obtain information and opinions from 850 selected practicing civil engineers. Based on those questionnaires reaching their addresses, a return rate of 81.7...

  • Computer simulation of offtracking of truck and trailer combinations using forest roads

    Creator:
    Erkert, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Many of the analytical techniques that are currently available are not capable of analyzing the offtracking of truck and trailer combinations or the path of load overhangs through a set of curves that are commonly found on forest roads. Advances in the processing speed of microcomputers have made it possible...

  • Performance of wood frame wall with thin shell ECC shear panel

    Creator:
    Lewis, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...

  • Numerical Modeling of Mass Timber Connections

    Creator:
    Hollenbeck, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a prefabricated building material that is relatively new to the United States and North America. It consists of no less than three layers of graded, dimensional lumber glued in alternating longitudinal and transverse layers to create a panel that can be used for various building applications...

  • Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

    Creator:
    Thomas, Seth Alan
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

  • Risk factor quantification of design elements for multistory commercial office buildings

    Creator:
    Dharmapalan, Vineeth
    Abstract:
    Designing for construction safety is part of standard practice in countries such as the UK, Australia, and South Africa. Designing the permanent facility in a manner to eliminate or reduce the risks of injury, illness, or fatality of construction workers is defined as designing for construction safety (DfCS). Although evident...

  • Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

    Creator:
    Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
    Abstract:
    Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...
