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...

Non-destructive determination of yield stress for in-situ gusset plates

Creator:: Pflaum, Therese Michelle
Abstract:: Failure of a gusset plate that caused the I-35W Bridge collapse in Minneapolis, MN resulted in mandated rating of connections by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Rating connections requires material properties as an input. The material properties are generally reported on the available detailed drawings for bridges. However, some bridges...

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...

Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures with thermal stress restrained specimen test results

Creator:: Kanerva, Hannele K.
Abstract:: Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reduction in service life of the pavement. Low temperature cracking has been predicted by regression equations, mechanistic...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:: Loving, Carly K.
Abstract:: To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

Design and fatigue behavior of near-surface mounted CFRP bars for shear strengthening of RC bridge girders

Creator:: Johnson, Brandon Ang
Abstract:: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials are emerging as an effective means of strengthening and rehabilitating bridges. Near surface mounting (NSM) is a newer technique for application of CFRP for retrofitting of bridge members that provides advantages over conventional strengthening techniques. The technique is still new and uncertainties remain regarding...

Effect of an Idealized Mangrove Forest of Moderate Cross-shore Width on Loads Measured on a Sheltered Structure and Comparison with Predicted Forces

Creator:: Mitchell, William T.
Abstract:: As coastal communities face increasing chronic and acute hazards, nature-based coastal engineering solutions have experienced a rapid growth in popularity and interest. Recent works on this topic have shown that “Green Infrastructure” may be effective at mitigating coastal hazards and therefore provide sustainable adaptation alternatives to traditional engineering solutions such...

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...

Enhancing Design of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Supporting Spread Footings

Creator:: Xie, Yonggui
Abstract:: Internal stability of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil (GRS) walls are conventionally assessed using lateral earth pressure methods. Determination of these pressures is a key component of limit state design as it enables determination of mobilized resisting forces in reinforcements needed to ensure stability and function of the GRS structure. However, conventional methods...

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...
