Monotonic and fatigue assessment of steel-concrete composite beams strengthened with externally post-tensioned tendons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The steel-concrete composite beam represents a structural system widely employed in both buildings and girder bridges. The coupling between steel beams ... -
Non-destructive evaluation of wood utility poles using computed axial tomography imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Of the more than 130 million wooden utility poles in service, there are approximately 2 million that are replaced annually. A quick, yet accurate non-destructive method of evaluation of the in-service poles could provide ... -
Nonlinear finite element modeling and characterization of guyed towers under severe loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Guyed towers have been widely employed in the telecommunication industry. This study thus intends to improve the understanding and analysis of guyed towers that undergoes not only large deformation, but also large strain. ... -
Numerical modeling of static nonlinear behavior of cold-formed steel stud walls
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cold-formed steel studs have been approved for their blast-resistance capability. Research concerns nowadays focus on how to adapt and develop the ... -
Performance of the laminated glass systems under static and blast pressure loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The increase of explosions threats toward civilian targets has raised concerns about a building's safety. Laminated glass (LG) is one of the widely ... -
Progressive damage of multiple bolt connections in thick composite plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Bonded connections are typically preferred for joining composite member. However, when supporting relatively large forces, the thickness and/or size ... -
Roof truss systems under blast loads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Designing roof systems for blast loading is quite complex. Many uncertainties still exist in this vital research area. The typical single degree of ... -
Sheet retrofit systems for concrete slabs for blast mitigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Various ductile sheet materials are currently used to retrofit existing concrete wall systems to mitigate the effects of external blast. Sheet retrofits ... -
Static and creep response of RC beams strengthened with CFRP
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) for strengthening and retrofit of existing reinforced concrete members has been proven ... -
Upgrading conventional cold-formed steel connections to protect against moderate blast events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most research in the area of blast resistant and retrofit designs has focused on high threat levels to meet the DOD and DOS needs. This report shows ...
