Steel fabricators and connection designers in the building construction industry often rely on traditional connection design methods, which involve using connection design software or spreadsheets to simulate and design connections with the goal of minimizing costs associated with fabrication and...

20Cr-32Ni-1Nb stainless steel alloys are commonly used in hydrogen reformer manifolds for transporting hot hydrogen by-products at 750-950 celcius. After long periods of exposure, embrittling secondary carbides and intermetallic phases can precipitate at the grain boundaries which can drastically...

Residual stresses can have a significant impact on the stability of structural members. In the case of I-section beam elements, such stresses can impact lateral--torsional buckling (LTB) capacity, particularly in the inelastic range. I-sections are typically fabricated by either rolling as a...

It has become common for steel fabricators to find torsional loads included in the design documents of many industrial steel structures. These loads arise in wide-flange beam-to-column moment connections when the beam is subject to weak axis bending, which in turn, is transferred to the column as...

Modularization of buildings comes in several types, from prefabricated members to full volumetric models. Recently, the introduction of modular construction methods brought numerous benefits to the construction industry. Reducing construction time and costs together with improving quality and...

An evaluation of the resistance of two different X70 pipeline steels to hydrogen-induced cracking in severe (pH 2.7 and 1 atm H2S) and intermediate (pH 5.5 and 1 atm H2S) sour service conditions was undertaken. The two steels used in this work, X70-X and X70-B, were selected based on their...

Seismic velocity dispersion in crystalline rock is investigated through experimental measurements on two natural quartzite specimens. The quartzites are thermally damaged to induce low aspect ratio cracks and the shear and Young’s moduli are measured across a range of effective pressures, from...

Oil and gas are known for their huge-size and complex projects that consist of multiple trades’ subprojects such as concrete, steel, and piping. These subprojects are executed within a confined area during a limited time frame. This requires careful planning and coordination between these...

Coped beams are susceptible to fatigue cracking in the web at the cope radius when subjected to tension in the coped region. Use of an adhesively bonded composite patch over the crack can reduce the stress concentration and delay further crack growth. This report contains the results of a...

Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....
