RISTornado Hazard Assessment of Residential Structures Built Using Cross-Laminated Timber and Light-Frame Wood Construction in the US
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Research has continued to broaden understanding of tornadoes and their effect on civil infrastructure. Because a significant portion of the losses associated with tornado events impact residential structures, it is appropriate ...
Optimization of Resilient Biofuel Infrastructure Systems under Natural Hazards
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers aim to develop a new optimization framework that integrates resilience in biofuel infrastructure systems planning, which provides a proactive solution in mitigating the impacts of natural hazards on infrastructure ...
Experimental and Numerical Characterization of Monotonic and Cyclic Performance of Cross-Laminated Timber Dowel-Type Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An immeasurable amount of greenhouse gas emissions during the process of steel purification and concrete production has attracted environmentally friendly engineers’ attention to extend and enhance the use of wood as a ...
Reliability Assessment of Electrical Grids Subjected to Wind Hazards and Ice Accretion with Concurrent Wind
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The supportive structures of power grids are vital but susceptible to weather-related events, such as extreme wind and icing rain with concurrent wind. The objective of this paper is to assess the reliability of the power ...
Performance-Based Procedure for Direct Displacement Design of Engineered Wood-Frame Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on a study to extend a recently proposed direct displacement design (DDD) procedure for midrise engineered wood-frame structures and develop a set of factors for use in the procedure to meet specified ...
Experimental Investigation of the Repairability of a Cantilever Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained considerable interest in recent years as a low-carbon alternative to steel and concrete in construction. While CLT structures are designed to withstand extreme events, such as strong ...
Fault-Tree Model for Risk Assessment of Bridge Failure: Case Study for Segmental Box Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the past few decades, the design capacity and service condition of many bridges, which are vital components of the surface transportation infrastructure reliability and functionality, have been challenged by rapid ...
Wind-Uplift Capacity of Residential Wood Roof-Sheathing Panels Retrofitted with Insulating Foam Adhesive
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research evaluated and compared the wind-uplift capacity of wood roof-sheathing panels fabricated by using nails with retrofitted roof panels made with nails and closed-cell sprayed polyurethane foam (ccSPF) adhesive. ...
Performance of Light-Frame Wood Residential Construction Subjected to Earthquakes in Regions of Moderate Seismicity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The majority of single-family dwellings in the United States are light-frame wood construction. Residential construction practices have evolved gradually over the years, most light-frame wood structures have not been ...
Seismic Fragility Analysis and Retrofit of Conventional Residential Wood-Frame Structures in the Central United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Site-built wood-frame (light-frame) construction is the most common form of construction for residential structures in the United States. Such structures have suffered significant damage in recent earthquakes, and wood-frame ...
