Effect of Z-shaped Steel Plate Connectors on Out-of-Plane Flexural Behaviour of Precast Insulated Concrete Panels
DownloadFall 2016
Precast Insulated Concrete Panels (PICP) consist of an insulation layer sandwiched between two concrete layers. The concrete layers of PICP are attached to each other by interlayer mechanical connectors. These panels are widely used in North America as cladding system to provide thermal...

FINITE ELEMENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILL SHEAR WALLS WITH AND WITHOUT OPENINGS
DownloadFall 2014
The current design practice is to ignore the interaction between masonry infill walls and containing frames due to the inadequate and incomplete guidance in current codes and standards. Most investigations on the behaviour of masonry infill shear walls were performed on scaled specimens and...

Recalibration of the Unit Strength Method for Determining the Compressive Strength of Grouted Concrete Masonry
DownloadSpring 2013
Using research that is now several decades old, the current Canadian masonry design standard, CSA S304.1-04, prescribes values for masonry design compressive strength based on the compressive strength of the concrete masonry unit and the type of mortar used in construction. The quality of unit...
