Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:: Gordon, James A.
Abstract:: Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

3-D finite element modeling in OpenSees for bridge live-load girder distribution factors

Creator:: Scoggins, Luke A.
Abstract:: A generalized, three-dimensional, finite element bridge model was created in order to efficiently and accurately assess live-load girder distribution factors for a variety of bridge types. This model shortens the time required by bridge analysts to develop individual finite element models for bridges of varying geometries. The creation of the...

Amplification of solitary waves along a vertical wall

Creator:: Li, Wenwen
Abstract:: Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fluorescent (LIF) technique and detailed temporal and spatial features of the Mach reflection are captured. During the development stage...

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with FRP laminates

Creator:: Chansawat, Kasidit
Abstract:: The Horsetail Creek (HC) bridge is an example of an Oregon bridge that was classified as structurally deficient and was not designed to withstand earthquake (EQ) excitations. A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation was performed on the HC bridge to increase flexural and shear capacities for traffic loads. However, a seismic...

Experimental and Analytical Studies of Large-Scale Pile Caps

Creator:: Al-Sakin, Yasmeen
Abstract:: Pile caps are structural elements used to transfer loads from columns to a group of piles, which transfer them to stronger soil layers. Pile cap with horizontal distance between the column and piles less than twice its effective depth is categorized as "deep," where significant nonlinear strain distribution occurs through...

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...

The control and fate of enteric bacteria in the environment with particular emphasis on the factors influencing fecal indicator survival in waste storage facilities

Creator:: Crane, Stuart R.
Abstract:: The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

Creator:: Grismer, Mark Edward
Abstract:: This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

Polar analysis of beam-columns for aircraft

Creator:: Jones, Walter Richard
Abstract:: The analysis of a member carrying a combination of lateral and axial loads (a "beam-column") is a problem of frequent occurrence in aircraft structural design. This thesis presents the derivation and application of the Polar method, both analytical and graphical. The method was first suggested in Germany, several years later...
