Connection Demand Prediction for the Design of Precast Concrete Wall Panels Subjected to Blast Loads 

Consunji, Anthony (2015-01-09)
One challenge in design of structures for highly impulsive loading is accurately predicting the peak transient shear and the corresponding connection force demand at supports. Single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) approaches ...

Development, Experimentation, and Implementation of a Gap Damper System to Limit Displacements in Extreme Ground Motions 

Rawlinson, Taylor (2015-05-05)
Studies have shown the effectiveness of providing supplemental energy dissipation in base-isolated structures to reduce displacements at the isolation level, often with consequences to superstructure performance. A previous ...

Investigation of the Use of Steel Intermediate Diaphragms and Temporary Bracing Alternatives for Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges 

Dupaquier, Samantha (2014-04-23)
Common in bridge construction today, diaphragms are placed transverse to the girders, connecting adjacent girders to provide stability and transmit loads. Diaphragms are defined as either end diaphragms – used at the ends ...

Performance of Multi-Phase Passive Control Systems in Steel Structures 

Abdulrahman, Basima (2014-12-17)
Earthquake resistant buildings can experience significant damage during an event. A multi-phase passive control system (MPCS) was developed to reduce structural damage, repair costs, and downtime of buildings subjected to ...

Predicting Time-Dependent Deformations in Prestressed Concrete Girders 

Isbiliroglu, Levent (2014-11-05)
A prestressed concrete girder camber prediction program, which utilizes a time-step approach, was improved to a new version including modifications, new features, and the fib Model Code 2010 material prediction model. The ...

Reliability of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Members 

Aguilar Vidal, Victor Hugo (2020-05-13)
Recent research on one-way shear strength and strut-and-tie design approach has led to updates in the ACI 318 Building code requirements for structural concrete. The changes in one-way shear design provisions in ACI 318-19 ...

Response of Deep Foundations to Seismic Loads in Alabama 

Kane, Kevin M. (2013-08-21)
Deep foundations are commonly used as foundation elements for bridges in Alabama. Due to the implementation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor ...

Target Reliability Analysis for Structures 

Ghasemi, Seyed Hooman (2015-01-06)
Structural performance depends on load and resistance parameters, in particular magnitude and frequency of load components and their combinations, strength of materials, modulus of elasticity, dimensions, rate of deterioration, ...
