RISWind-Induced Cladding and Structural Loads on Low-Wood Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A test building was constructed in Fredericton, New Brunswick and was used to collect pressure and force coefficient data. A 1:200 scale model was also fabricated and tested for a total of 15 angles of wind attack at the ...
Wind-Induced Pressures on Patio Covers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A wind tunnel study has been carried out to assess wind loads on patio covers attached to low-rise buildings. A 1:100 geometric scale building and patio cover model was constructed and tested for open exposure conditions. ...
Large-Scale Wind Testing on Roof Overhangs for a Low-Rise Building
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Roof overhangs are prone to wind damage because they are subject to wind load at both the upper and bottom surfaces. Wind standards assume that the pressure at the bottom covering of a roof overhang will be the same as the ...
Development of Strong Surfaces Using Functionally Graded Composites Inspired by Natural Teeth—A Theoretical Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years functionally-graded composites have been proposed to develop strong surfaces that can withstand high contact and frictional forces. The present work presents a new graded composite ...
Development of Strong Surfaces Using Functionally Graded Composites Inspired by Natural Teeth—Finite Element and Experimental Verification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composite materials that exhibit a microstructure that varies locally in order to achieve a specific type of local material properties distribution. In ...
Large-Scale Wind Tunnel Tests of Canopies Attached to Low-Rise Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Canopies attached to residential and other buildings are predominantly lightweight structures with both surfaces exposed to the wind; therefore, their design is mostly governed by wind-induced loads. Currently, only limited ...
Shear Behavior of Corrugated Tie Connections in Anchored Brick Veneer–Wood Frame Wall Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study was carried out to investigate the shear behavior of corrugated metal ties anchoring brick veneer walls to light wood frame backing. Connection subassemblies were tested under monotonic and cyclic ...
Wind Loading on Attached Canopies: Codification Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A wind tunnel study was performed to examine wind loads on canopies attached to the walls of low-rise buildings. A model of a building with an attached canopy of geometric scale of
Experimental Investigation of Wind-Driven Rain Propagation in a Building Interior
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Posthurricane surveys have shown that building interior damage often results from water intrusion into the building interior. The interior damage can make up 50%–100% of the total building loss; therefore, its accurate ...
Hyperbolicity, Mach Lines, and Super-Shear Mode III Steady-State Fracture in Magneto-Flexoelectric Materials, Part II: Crack-Tip Asymptotics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In our previous study (Part I), the anti-plane steady-state hyperbolic mode III fracture of a magneto-flexoelectric material was solved for the displacement, the polarization, and the magnetic fields. The solution, however, ...
