Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...

Shear Strength of Partially Grouted (PG) Masonry Shear Walls: Experimental and Analytical Studies
DownloadFall 2023
When subjected to in-plane loads, the shear behaviour of partially grouted (PG) masonry shear walls is complex due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature of the masonry materials and the nonlinear interactions among their constituents. For instance, insufficient shear strength will lead to a...
