Asce Lrfd Method For Stainless Steel Structures, Shin Hua Lin, Wei-Wen Yu, Theodore V. Galambos Jan 1992

Asce Lrfd Method For Stainless Steel Structures, Shin Hua Lin, Wei-Wen Yu, Theodore V. Galambos

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In recent years, probability-based load-and-resistance-factor-design (LRFD) method has been successfully applied to the design of hot-rolled steel sections and cold-formed steel members in the United States and foreign countries. In order to develop the LRFD criteria for the design of cold-formed stainless steel structural members and connections, a research project was conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla since 1986 under the sponsorship of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). This newly developed LRFD Specification with Commentary has been adopted by ASCE as a new standard in 1990. It supersedes the 1974 edition of the Specification for the Design of …

Instability And Collapse Behavior Of A Seismic Structure, Franklin Y. Cheng, Jeng Fuh Ger Jan 1991

Instability And Collapse Behavior Of A Seismic Structure, Franklin Y. Cheng, Jeng Fuh Ger

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The collapse behavior of a 22-story steel building during the September 19, 1985, Mexico earthquake is investigated by studying hysteretic behavior, ductility factors of individual structural components, and overall instability of the building. The hysteresis models for truss-type girders, bracing members, and box columns to be used in the inelastic analysis of this building are developed. A series of inelastic analyses have been performed for the building by using the multicomponent seismic input of actual Mexico City earthquake records. It was found that the structural response exceeds the original design ductility of this building because most girders in the building …

Uplift Capacity Of Z-Purlins, Roger A. Laboube Jan 1991

Uplift Capacity Of Z-Purlins, Roger A. Laboube

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Roof systems constructed using cold-formed steel components, i.e., Z-shaped purlins and interconnected roof panels, have become a very popular form of construction. This roof system is used extensively for single-story commercial and industrial buildings in the United States. The popularity of cold-formed steel members is due in part to their superior gravity load strength-to-weight ratio; however, because of their relatively light weight, a cold-formed member is very susceptible to wind uplift loading. The design specification in the United States for cold-formed steel construction does not provide a comprehensive analytical solution to the problem of wind uplift strength of a cold-formed …

The History Of The Trinity Highway: A Study In Transportation Dynamics, Richard Wilutus May 1990

The History Of The Trinity Highway: A Study In Transportation Dynamics, Richard Wilutus

Books and Other Publications

Although the primary focus of this thesis is a history of California 299--the Trinity Highway, I have studied the construction of that road in the context of the history of transportation between Weaverville and Humboldt Bay. The history of a transportation network is not only a history of connections between people and places but also, in this remote region, the vital link connecting wilderness with civilization.

Ever since the settlement of the Weaverville area in 1848, its residents have sought reliable transportation to Humboldt Bay's seaport and merchandise. During this period a road has connected these two places for less …

Cost Comparison Of Timber, Steel, And Prestressed Concrete Bridges, Richard A. Behr, E. J. Cundy, C. H. Goodspeed Jan 1990

Cost Comparison Of Timber, Steel, And Prestressed Concrete Bridges, Richard A. Behr, E. J. Cundy, C. H. Goodspeed

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This study was undertaken to investigate the economics of timber bridge superstructures versus traditional steel/concrete and prestressed concrete alternatives in the short-span range of 20 to 60 ft (6.1-18.3 m). Only superstructure costs were considered because substructure and abutment costs are highly site-specific. A lack of definitive data regarding service lives and maintenance costs precluded a life-cycle cost study; thus, only initial costs were compared. Representative superstructure designs were obtained for timber, steel/concrete, and prestressed concrete bridges at 20-, 40-, and 60-ft spans. Five to six northern New England general contractors performed cost estimates on these designs. Also, nine timber …

Aisi Lrfd Method For Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, Ling En Hsiao, Wei-Wen Yu, Theodore V. Galambos

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In the design of steel buildings, the allowable stress design (ASD) method has long been used for cold-formed steel structural members in the United States Recently, the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) criteria have been developed for steel buildings using hot-rolled shapes and built-up members fabricated from steel plates In order to develop load and resistance factor design (LRFD) criteria for cold-formed steel structural members, a joint research project is conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla, Washington University, and the University of Minnesota under the sponsorship of the American Iron and Steel Institute Based on the 1986 edition of …


Optimum Assessment Of Irregular Three-Dimensional Seismic Buildings, Kevin Z. Truman, Franklin Y. Cheng Jan 1990

Optimum Assessment Of Irregular Three-Dimensional Seismic Buildings, Kevin Z. Truman, Franklin Y. Cheng

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A structural optimization algorithm based on an optimality criteria approach is presented for three-dimensional, statically and dynamically loaded steel or reinforced concrete structures. The theoretical work is presented in terms of scaling, sensitivity analyses, optimality criteria, and Lagrange multiplier determination. The structures can be subjected to a combination of static and dynamic displacement and stress, and natural frequency constraints. The dynamic analyses are based upon the ATC-03 provisions for equivalent lateral force and modal analysis procedures, or multicomponent response spectra modal analyses. Using the algorithm presented, a computer program called ODRESB-3D was developed for analysis and design of various building …
