Determination of probabilistic models for resistance of Missouri bridges
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As part of an overall project sponsored by MoDOT to calibrate the live load factor considering the typical bridge configurations in Missouri and ...
Simplified model for reinforced concrete beams under catenary action
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research is to develop simplified models to predict the load displacement behavior for any reinforced concrete beam on the basis of material, geometric, and design parameters. The proposed simplified ...
Evaluation of alternative resistance mechanisms for progressive collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of this research is to better understand the collapse resistance mechanisms of reinforced concrete buildings. Currently, resisting progressive collapse is generally outside the design considerations for ordinary ...
Evaluation of the effects of in-plane lateral restraint and reinforcement ratio on the punching capacity of flat slab column specimens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Localized damage to certain structural members in a building can trigger a chain reaction which results in a partial or complete collapse of the building. A collapse of this nature is called a progressive collapse and has ...
Evaluation of a mechanical anchoring system to improve performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer mitigated concrete slabs under close in blasts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Recent events, including the bombings of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 and the World Trade Center in New York in 2001, have drawn attention to the fact that explosive loads can cause extreme damage and loss ...
Evaluation of tensile and compressive membrane action in isolated slab column specimen
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Older flat-plate buildings are susceptible to progressive collapse in which the failure of one slab-column connection can propagate to other connections and cause a full collapse of the building. The most common mechanism ...
Simplified analysis to predict the behavior of RC beams under collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The behavior of beams under progressive collapse plays an important role in resisting the collapse. This research addresses the complicated behavior of beams under collapse. The goal of this research is to provide an ...
