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...

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...

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...

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...

The most common fatigue problem in steel structures is fatigue cracking caused by distortion. Although methods of repair for structures that suffer from distortion induced fatigue do exist, our ability to assess the resistance of existing structures is lacking. Consequently, it is difficult to...

Stress- and strain-based reliability assessment of pipelines subjected to internal pressure and permanent ground movement
DownloadFall 2023
As a critical member of infrastructural lifeline, pipelines fulfill a vital role in energy delivery across long distances from source to market. Pipelines at service can be exposed to a wide variety of loads depending on the environment and the area of application. Internal pressure and ground...

emissions and embodied energy compared to concretes produced with Portland cement binders. This research had two parts: the first part was to develop and characterize lightweight structural ceramic concretes made from MPPC binders and various aggregates, and to study the uniaxial tensile response of
composite made of these ceramic concretes and glass textile reinforcements. The second part of the study developed an innovative structural system using these ceramic concretes, reinforcing steel and glass textile reinforcements. Laboratory tests were performed to develop and characterize the rheological
and mechanical properties of an innovative ceramic concrete that contained or omitted chopped glass fibers. Results indicated that ceramic concrete could be formulated with rheological and mechanical properties suitable for structural applications. The produced concretes exhibited rapid strength gain

over the MTP panels to improve various performance attributes, including structural, acoustic and vibration serviceability. Mass Timber Panel-Concrete (MTPC) composite floor system often consists of a Mass Timber Panel (MTP) connected to the concrete layer with mechanical connectors such as Self
stiffness required for structural design. In this research, three types of MTPs with normal weight concrete, three insulation thicknesses, two screw embedment lengths and two screw angles were tested to characterize connection strength and stiffness. Test results showed that connections with screws at an

Structural Performance of Mass Timber Panel-Concrete Composite Floors with Notched Connections
DownloadSpring 2022
This thesis focuses on the structural performance of mass timber panel-concrete composite floors with notches. Mass timber panels (MTPs) such as cross-laminated timber, glue-laminated timber, and nail-laminated timber, are emerging construction materials in the building industry due to their high
strength, great dimensional stability, and prefabrication. The combination of MTPs and concrete in the floor system offers many structural, economic, and ecological benefits. The structural performance of MTP-concrete composite floors is governed by the shear connection system between timber and concrete
composite floors is not standardized and the existing design guidelines are inadequate for MTP-concrete composite floors. To study the structural performance of notched connections and notch-connected composite floors, this thesis presented experimental, numerical, and analytical investigations. Push-out
