Optimisation Of Cold-Formed Steel Purlin Cross-Sections, Matt Clifford Jan 2012

Optimisation Of Cold-Formed Steel Purlin Cross-Sections, Matt Clifford

Theses

The subject of buckling of steel members is introduced and the critical nature of local buckling in slender members is highlighted.

The main thrust of work this semester is an investigation into the following buckling modes:

Flexural buckling;

Lateral torsional buckling;

Torsional buckling;

Shear buckling;

Web buckling;

Distortional buckling;

Local buckling.

This investigation has three main components:

1. Review of theory, books and appropriate published work;

2. Investigation into the relevant parts of Eurocode 3;

3. Finite element analysis using the LUSAS FE program to illustrate the various buckling modes.

Finally, the areas to be covered in the Realisation Stage …


Super Flex Wall - New Frame System For High Rise Buildings, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2012

Super Flex Wall - New Frame System For High Rise Buildings, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets Archive

The "Super Flex Wall" is a structural frame method newly developed by the Takenaka Corporation, used in combination with a core wall (the earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete wall penetrating through the center of the building from the lower part to the top floor) and a structural control method or with a base-isolation method. Part of the structure is cantilevered from the central core along the periphery of the building.

A Quantitative Study Of Robustness Characteristics In Steel Framed Structures, Christopher Herman Raebel Oct 2011

A Quantitative Study Of Robustness Characteristics In Steel Framed Structures, Christopher Herman Raebel

Dissertations (1934 -)

Robustness is a desirable property in any structural design. Robustness may be thought of as the building's inherent structural ability to resist loads other than those anticipated during design. Examples of unanticipated loads are damage to a column or beam due to impact; damage due to the concussion of a blast; strength reduction due to extreme heat during a fire; and localized accidental overload of a beam or column. Each of these events, although very different in their nature, has one major point in common; in each case the path of load resistance changes in a way that was not …

140 New Montgomery Power Distribution Design, Stephen Shaffer Aug 2011

140 New Montgomery Power Distribution Design, Stephen Shaffer

Electrical Engineering

The Power Distribution Design for a high-rise building requires a great deal of coordination and design from the structural, electrical, mechanical, telecommunication, and PG&E engineers. This report will cover how I was able to coordinate and design the power distribution system for 140 New Montgomery, a 28 story building located in San Francisco. Furthermore, this report will cover the steps taken in the future to ensure a smooth transition from the schematic design phase to the construction document phase.

Phase Change Materials For Thermal Regulation Of Building Integrated Photovoltaics, Ahmad Hassan Jan 2010

Phase Change Materials For Thermal Regulation Of Building Integrated Photovoltaics, Ahmad Hassan

Doctoral

In outdoor deployed photovoltaics (PV), standard test conditions (STC) of 25 °C PV temperature, 1000 Wm-2 solar radiation intensity and 1.5 air-mass rarely prevail. PV temperature can rise 40-100 °C above STC inducing a power drop in crystalline silicon PV with a coefficient of -0.4 to -0.65 %/K above STC. Increased operating temperature also results in accelerated PV degradation due to cell delamination allowing moisture ingress. vConventional building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) cooling techniques using passive
or active heat removal by air or water flow are limited by (i) very low heat transfer or (ii) large capital as well as maintenance …

Thermal Testing Of Innovative Building Insulations, Eoghan Frawley Oct 2009

Thermal Testing Of Innovative Building Insulations, Eoghan Frawley

Masters

The main objective of this research was to design and develop a Hot Box to test the thermal properties of Eco-quilt multi-foil insulation. This work began by gaining an understanding into how multi-foil works, how it is installed and examining different variations of this insulation. It was clear at an early stage that there were two conflicting opinions on the thermal performance of multi-foils. One set of tests claimed that the insulation had a thermal resistance of approximately 5 m2oC/W. These tests were carried out in real weather conditions, where temperatures were fluctuating, although one laboratory test achieved similar results. …
