Architectural Engineering
Walls that replicate masonry walls used in Tanzania are constructed and tested. The results from testing was compared with the respective predictions made using code guidelines from ASCE 7 and TMS 402.
Numerical Performance Evaluation Of The Wooden Frame Structures With Adhesive Applied Connection Under Wind And Seismic Loading, Sharthak Bhandary
Numerical Performance Evaluation Of The Wooden Frame Structures With Adhesive Applied Connection Under Wind And Seismic Loading, Sharthak Bhandary
Masters Theses
The objective of the research is divided into two folds. The first objective is to study the state-of-the-art modeling method for the wooden frame construction, while the second objective is to evaluate the performance of a wooden frame structure with construction adhesives under hazardous loading conditions using the selected numerical modeling method. The numerical modeling tools were classified under academic and commercial categories based on the purpose of their development. Both academic and commercial tools were further classified based on model types of the structural systems (i.e., shear walls and three-dimensional (3D) buildings) and the applied loads (i.e., wind loading …
