Dynamic increase factor in reinforced concrete frames under disproportionate collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Under a disproportionate collapse, the sudden loss of a support causes a dynamic response that can amplify the internal forces in the surrounding members and lead to significant global damage. This study considered a ... -
Estimating the rock mass modulus of Missouri shale using pressuremeter tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Rock mass modulus can be a useful property in the design of foundations. Rock mass modulus is defined as the stress strain response of a rock mass in-situ. The stress strain response of the rock mass can be estimated by ... -
Evaluation of post punching capacity of flat plates under progressive collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)This research investigates the post-punching resistance of flat-plate buildings without continuous bottom reinforcement. An overview on both the historical development of the analytical theories of punching mechanisms and ... -
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 ... -
Safety evaluation of roundabouts at freeway ramp terminals and HSM calibration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Although the conventional understanding is that roundabouts have the potential to improve safety at intersections, particularly by reducing more severe crash types, there is limited knowledge on their safety impacts when ... -
Transportation safety modeling and evaluation : alternative geometric designs, enforcement, and airfield applications /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A top priority of transportation agencies in the United States is to improve safety of transportation facilities through the use of latest technology, innovative designs, procedural methods, and training practices to ...
