The seismic geotechnical modeling, performance, and analysis of pile-supported wharves

Creator:: McCullough, Nason J.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case histories, the seismic performance of pile-supported wharves has been poorly quantified, and the analysis methods commonly employed in engineering practice have...

Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

Creator:: Kawamata, Yohsuke
Abstract:: Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...

Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

Creator:: Kirkham, William J.
Abstract:: There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...

Dynamic response of steel structures with semirigid connections

Creator:: Grant, Joseph Edward
Abstract:: The nonlinear response of a ten-story steel structure with semirigid girder connections is studied under conditions of dynamic loading. The dynamic loading used in this study is the North-South component of the May 18, 1940 El Centro, California earthquake. To deal with the complexity of the problem the structure is...

Seismic Performance of Aging Prestressed Transmission Pole with Simulated Soil Foundation

Creator:: Argo, Maximo
Abstract:: The Cascadia Subduction Zone has recently been identified as a source for an impending great earthquake. The potential of a large earthquake has created widespread interest into the resiliency of lifelines within the potentially affected areas. One critical lifeline is the electrical distribution and transmission systems which relies on legacy...

Optimizing the performance of gypsum wall board in wood frame shear walls

Creator:: Goodall, Scott I.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%,...

Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

Creator:: Sullivan, Kyle
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....

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...
