  • Load sharing and system factors for light-frame wall systems

    Creator:
    Yu, Guangren
    Abstract:
    A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wall systems which may be subject to combined transverse and gravity (vertical) loading, and...

  • Cockpit task management errors : a design issue for intelligent pilot-vehicle interfaces

    Creator:
    Chou, Chung-di
    Abstract:
    In conformity with advanced cockpit automation technology, modern pilots have become airborne system managers and have to satisfactorily manage complex sets of tasks to complete a flight mission safely. Funk's (1991) normative cockpit task management (CTM) theory defines CTM functions as the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, allocating of resources to, and...

  • Performance-based seismic design of light-frame shearwalls

    Creator:
    Kim, Jun Hee
    Abstract:
    Performance-based design has gained interest in recent years among structural designers and researchers. Performance-based design includes selection of appropriate building sites, structural systems and configurations, as well as analytical procedures used in the design process, to confirm that the structure has adequate strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity to respond...
