Spring 2024
Double wythe masonry cavity walls consist of two masonry wythes, an exterior layer typically made of clay-backed or ceramic bricks (veneer) and the inner layer composed of concrete masonry units (CMU), which serves as a structural backup. In typical cavity wall design, the two wythes are assumed to

Markerless 3D Assessment of Severity and Progression of Scoliosis Using Surface Topography on Isolated Back Scans
DownloadSpring 2019
The objectives of the thesis were to: 1. Determine if open source software can be use in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. 2. Determine if isolated back scans can be used in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. Markerless asymmetry analysis of surface...

Modelling Repair Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Barriers using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars
DownloadSpring 2021
In an era where bridge deterioration due to corrosion has become evident and a pressing concern for future reinforced concrete bridge construction, glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has emerged as a feasible alternative to steel due to its superior corrosion resistance. Research...

Novel XFEM Variable Strain Damage Model for Predicting Fracture in Small-scale SENT and Full-scale Pipeline Fracture Tests
DownloadFall 2021
Of all the common integrity threats of steel pipelines, cracking is the most dangerous and potentially resulting in the immediate loss of pressure containment capacity. Industry pipeline operators should ensure that the tensile train capacity (TSC) of welded pipeline exceeds the longitudinal...

Fall 2019
Lateral–torsional buckling (LTB) is a failure mode that is associated with simultaneous vertical displacement and twisting of a beam when subjected to flexural loading. LTB behaviour is generally well understood for I shaped steel beams; however, the LTB behaviour of T shaped steel beams is not...

Fall 2017
Premature corrosion of reinforcing steel is a cause of concern for steel-reinforced concrete structures, since it causes them to deteriorate before their design operational life is attained. The Use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete (RC) structures has been shown to...

On the Lumbosacral Spine Geometry Variation and Spinal Load-Sharing: Personalized Finite Element Modelling
DownloadSpring 2016
Computational modeling of the lumbar spine provides insights on kinematics and internal load development and distribution along the spine. Geometry (size and shape) of the spinal structures and more particularly sagittal curvature of the spine governs its response to mechanical loading. Thus,...

Fall 2013
There are many design methodologies and philosophies intended to provide structural integrity or increase structural robustness, thereby making structures resistant to progressive collapse. However, there is little information that reveals sources and levels of inherent robustness in structural
for the new scenario. These recommendations can lead to more economical design and safer structural steel systems in the event of localised damage that has the potential to spread to a disproportionately large part of the structure. Connections play a major role in ensuring general integrity of
different types of steel structural systems. Hence, numerical investigations have been performed to extend the current body of knowledge on connections and, consequently, the structural response in the event of progressive collapse. This study is intended to examine the response of steel frames with simple

Prediction of Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Patterns of Human Cervical Spine Injuries Due to High-Velocity Impact Using Finite Element Method
DownloadFall 2013
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the loading rate dependency, load-sharing and injury mechanisms of the C2-C3 cervical spine unit. A ligamentous bio-realistic finite element model was constructed considering comprehensive geometrical representation at tissue level components...

With growing concern over global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, research must be undertaken to reduce the environmental footprint of buildings. Cellular concrete provides good strength to weight ratios and good thermal insulation because of its cellular structure. This makes it suitable...
