Application of Methods to Characterize VS30 in Alabama

Carcamo, Patricia S. (2022-08-03)

One of the most important characteristics of a soil that is a basis for seismic analysis, is shear wave velocity (VS). VS has proved to be a valuable tool for site response analysis for seismic design since it has the ...

BEHAVIOR AND CAPACITY OF THERMALLY RESTRAINED MOMENT FRAME MEMBERS DURING COMPARTMENT FIRE

Chinivar, Supriya Nagraj (2021-07-27)

In the event of a fire hazard, structural resistance depends on the ability to resist a comprehensive set of load combinations comprising the gravity loads and the thermally induced fire loads without undergoing failure. ...

Determination of the Effective Bond Strength for Near-Surface Mounted Titanium-Alloy Bars in Reinforced Concrete

Flowers, Jack (2024-04-12)

The repair and strengthening of existing structures have become active research areas in civil engineering with the objective of developing efficient means to extend the service life of bridges to avoid the high cost of ...

Feasibility Studies on the Design and Usage of Steel Pile Piles for ALDOT Bridges

Sharma, Rosy (2023-08-09)

Large diameter steel pipe piles provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative to conventional reinforced concrete bridge piles (drilled shafts) and steel piles (HP-piles). The steel pipe columns offer increased ...

Lean-On Bracing Refined Design Methods and Field Assessment

Gasser, Claire (2024-04-15)

Cross-frames are critical for the stability of steel bridges during construction and play a significant role in completed bridges. Historically, brace locations have been regions of fatigue concerns, and each brace requires ...

Life Cycle Assessment of a Steel-Timber Composite Structure Comparison to an Established Structural System

Rohde, Emma (2023-01-11)

The building and construction industry drives global energy use and emissions. With climate change mitigation being a forefront topic of concern, the building and construction industry has a responsibility to alleviate its ...

Load Rating Corrugated Metal Culverts with Shallow Soil Cover

Liu, Bujing (2023-05-01) ETD File Embargoed

Culverts under existing roadways that do not meet current cover requirements are common. Even though they may have performed without any issues for decades, rating of many of them using current specifications and methodologies ...

Stochastic Fragment Velocity Analysis of Concrete Masonry Walls under Blast Loading with a Multi Degree of Freedom Model via the Monte Carlo Method

Hatfield, John (2024-04-29) ETD File Embargoed

The behavior of concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls under dynamic overpressure loading where dynamic fracture produces secondary fragments is quite complex. The response of a CMU wall is influenced by the material properties ...
