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...

Simplified seismic design methods for low-ductile steel multi-tiered concentrically braced frames
DownloadFall 2020
Multi-Tiered Concentrically Braced Frames (MT-CBFs) represent a bracing configuration where two or more concentric braced panels are stacked between the storey levels in multi-storey buildings or between the ground and roof levels in single-storey buildings such as sports facilities, airplane...

Standardization and Testing of Embedded Plates for Design, Fabrication, and Construction Economy
DownloadSpring 2021
Embedded plates are commonly used to facilitate connecting structural steel members to reinforced concrete building elements such as walls and columns. Due to a lack of readily available industry-wide standard embedded plate designs, embedded plates are often custom designed for each project. This

Statistical Prediction Methods for the In-Plane Shear Strength of Partially Grouted Masonry Walls
DownloadSpring 2021
The behaviour of partially grouted masonry shear walls is complex due to their anisotropic nature and the nonlinear interactions between blocks, mortar, grouted cells, ungrouted cells and steel reinforcement. Currently available code- and research-based shear strength equations give highly...

Fall 2013
The objective of this research is to develop design methods for steel plate shear wall in low and moderate seismic regions, and to examine its performance under accidental blast. Different practical details are investigated to reduce the force demands on the boundary frame of the wall system and...

Spring 2016
The susceptibility of structures to extensive collapse when subjected to a localised failure due to an extreme loading event has in recent years gained considerable research attention. The scenario most often used to assess such performance, either experimentally or through finite element...

Fall 2022
Abstract It is easier and cheaper to transmit oil and gas by pipeline, but their failure can cause considerable environmental and societal consequences. The denting of pipelines is one of the significant challenges faced by those in the oil and gas industry. The formation of dents in the wall of...

Fall 2015
Current design procedures for double-coped beams tend to be overly conservative and do not include considerations for axial load. The reduced strength and stability of the coped region increase the susceptibility of the connection to a local failure, and the complexity of the connection behaviour...

Spring 2019
In the construction industry, it is common practice to use timber mats beneath crawler cranes to redistribute heavy loads over large surfaces and allow the stresses on the soil to fall within allowable design limits. The distribution of stresses beneath the mats is generally assumed to be...
