Clip Reactions in Standing Seam Roofs of Metal Buildings
Fowler, Shaunda Lynn.Prediction of the clip reactions of a standing seam roof in a metal building under dynamic loading is of great interest because currently static uplift tests are the standard for determining the design load capacity. The ... -
Design And Performance Of Open Graded Friction Course Hot Mix Asphalt
Robinson, William JeremyOpen-graded friction course (OGFC) is a porous mix primarily used to improve pavement safety. OGFC is characterized by air voids ranging from 15 to 20 percent which allows surface water to drain through its structure and ... -
Drying Characteristics of Saturated Fine-Grain Soil Slurries at Constant Temperature
Glorioso, Mario.This study addresses the need for investigation of drying-rate characteristics of fine-grain soils. The research was an attempt to develop a parameter for use in thermal consolidation and/or shrinkage modeling. The ... -
Laboratory Evaluation of Tensile and Shear Strengths of Asphalt Tack Coats
Woods, Mark EverettAsphalt tack coats are applied during pavement construction to ensure bond between pavement layers, thus providing a more durable pavement. A prototype tack coat evaluation device (TCED) was developed to evaluate the tensile ... -
Modeling Chip Formation in Orthogonal Metal Cutting using Finite Element Analysis
Wince, Jaton Nakia.This thesis presents the simulation of chip formation in orthogonal metal cutting to evaluate the predictive capabilities of finite element code DYNA 3D. The Johnson and Cook constitutive model for materials, OFHC ... -
Structural Reinforcement Layout and Sizing Optimization of a Composite Advanced Sail
Lokits, Jeremy CraigStructural reinforcement layout optimization can be a very useful tool in the preliminary stages of design. In this research, sizing optimization techniques are used to generate results very similar to traditional layout ... -
Variation in load path in a wood structural system and a new reliability-based adjustment factor
Wang, Wenqi (Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering., 2010-03-24)This thesis introduces a new adjustment factor for the probability-based load and resistance factor (LRFD) design for wood structures. By investigating the empirical data of reaction forces for a wooden house built by the ...
