The seismic vulnerability of sheet pile walls

Creator:: McCullough, Nason J.
Abstract:: The seismic performance of port structures has been well documented following recent earthquakes, and indicates that port structures are highly susceptible to earthquake-induced damages. These damages are primarily due to soil liquefaction and the associated ground failures. Sheet pile bulkheads provide vital intermodal and lifeline transportation links between water-side and...

Adjacent structure response sensitivity to seismic events using the direct differentiation method

Creator:: White, William S.
Abstract:: The response of adjacent structural systems to earthquake motions is investigated using the finite element framework OpenSees. Results of sensitivity analyses demonstrate that structural response quantities can increase in either or both of the adjacent structures for specific configurations. The structural models used include steel moment-resisting frames and rigid shear...

Effect of subduction zone earthquakes on SDOF bridge models

Creator:: Long, Yicheng
Abstract:: Current bridge design codes do not account for the effects of duration of mega-thrust subduction zone earthquakes. Furthermore, codes and even recent performance-based design methodologies only make use of the peak response quantities (forces, displacements, and ductility demands) and do not account for the increased number of inelastic cycles that...

Seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns constructed with grade 80 reinforcement

Creator:: Link, Tim B.
Abstract:: The research presented in this thesis assessed the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcement for use in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns. HSS is not currently allowed in reinforced concrete bridge columns due to a lack of information on the material characteristics and performance information when used in RC...

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...

Evaluation of seismic response directional combination rules for existing plan irregular reinforced concrete buildings

Creator:: Hussain, Syed Baqir
Abstract:: In this thesis, the effectiveness of the 100 percent + XX percent seismic response directional combination rule available in codes and standards is evaluated using simulated nonlinear seismic response of two existing multi-story reinforced concrete plan-irregular buildings. The 5-story and 8-story buildings were designed according to the 1975 seismic codes...

Comparison of screening, evaluation, rehabilitation and design provisions for wood-framed structures

Creator:: Baxter, Preston
Abstract:: Many publications, documents, codes and guidelines exist related to the seismic evaluation and rehabilitation design of existing buildings. This report discusses the assumptions and methods employed for investigation of two wood structures using four references: FEMA 154, FEMA 356, ASCEI per SEI 31, and 1997 UBC. The screening performed using...

Assessing the seismic performance of corroding RC bridge columns

Creator:: Guo, Yisen
Abstract:: Corrosion of reinforcement is recognized as the predominant factor that limits the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to aggressive environments. This corrosion deterioration can lead to damage resulting in capacity loss or even failure. For structures exposed to coastal marine environments or deicing or anti-icing applications, this...

Seismic Performance of Square Reinforced Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars

Creator:: Lostra, Mackenzie M. W.
Abstract:: Large numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were built in the past that are now considered seismically deficient. The structural members most likely to be considered deficient are the supporting columns. Typical deficient columns contain inadequate transverse reinforcement and poorly detailed lap splice lengths above the foundation. Insufficient lap splice...
