A procedure to identify and evaluate forest arterial and collector road networks

Creator:: Kehr, Richard H.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a procedure to identify and evaluate forest arterial and collector networks. The procedure identifies those decision criteria important in evaluating both the arterial and collector networks and the specific facilities identified on these networks. The procedure incorporates the decision criteria and results from network and facility analysis...

Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

Creator:: Bultena, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...

The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

Creator:: Dominguez, Richard Frank
Abstract:: Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...

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...

A practical approach to model the behavior of a metal-plate-connected wood truss system

Creator:: Li, Zhong
Abstract:: Metal-plate-connected (MPC) trusses have traditionally been designed based on a tributary load distribution and a simplified truss model. This design method ignores the load-sharing and composite action in MPC roof truss systems, the semi-rigidity of MPC joints, and joint eccentricity. The main objective of this study was to provide a...

Irregular points in wavemaker boundary value problem

Creator:: Tanaka, Yoshihiro
Abstract:: A global solution is presented that accurately accounts for the singular behavior at all irregular points. The linearized boundary value problem in a semi-infinite strip in the physical plane is transformed into a smooth unit disk by two successive conformal mappings. The global solution results from a Fredholm integral equation...

Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

Creator:: Li, Chuan
Abstract:: Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of heavy timber frame structures including passive damping devices

Creator:: Eiden, Claudia M. T.
Abstract:: Engineering analysis of heavy timber structures under dynamic loads is generally lacking. Some literature suggests that heavy timber structures are stiffer than expected, but popular engineering opinion is to the contrary. In addition, prior research has shown that passive friction dampers can be used in timber structures for the intended...
