Effect of Beam Splicing on Seismic Response of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames
… when compared to typical connections, in a few component tests. This study expands upon the performed component tests, by analyzing the beam splice connection at the system level under directional dynamic loads. Finite element analysis and dynamic loads are used to analyze two 3-story frames …

Large-scale testing of a steel-concrete composite floor system under column loss scenarios
Large-scale floor system tests concluded a collaborative research project that studied the structural integrity of steel gravity framing systems composed of steel beams and girders with composite concrete slab on steel deck. Steel simple beam-column connection tests were conducted at the University …

Evaluation of metal connector plates for repair and reinforcement of wood pallets
… of pallets with MCPs. Whole pallets and pallet components were tested. Stringers and notched segments were tested in static bending, while end feet were tested for resistance to fork tine impact. Whole pallets were evaluated with a test protocol that simulated the effects of long-term handling. …

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Low-Cycle Fatigue Fracture in Structural Steel
The mechanism of metal material failure due to inelastic cyclic deformations is commonly described as Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF). Fracture in steel structures caused by earthquakes can be associated with this mechanism. Mathematical expressions describing the material deterioration due to LCF are …

Enhancement of the Sliding Hinge Joint Connection with Belleville Springs
… sliding shear capacity, and hysteretic component force-displacement behaviour for the friction component with various options of Belleville springs, using a regime of real scale component testing. • Determining the residual friction component strength when Belleville springs are used. • …

Detection of Environmental Contaminants in Water Utilizing Raman Scanning for E. coli Phenotype Changes
… to the phenotypes of the E. coli. Three types of tests were run to show the effectiveness of this method: single-component, multicomponent, and impure water sources. In single-component tests, it was found that differences due to NaCl contamination could be detected to 5.0E-9 weight percent (wt …

Development of Magnetorheological Elastomer System for Adaptive Vibration Isolation
… fabrication of the AB system, and large-scale component testing and evaluation. In addition, since no fabrication and testing systems were available in the market, testing and fabrication units were developed to facilitate the manufacturing of small and large-size MRE specimen, and a double-lap …

Comprehensive and Targeted Access to and Visualization of Decision Knowledge
… phase. Extensive testing, including system and component tests, were part of the quality assurance phase. Lastly, an evaluation was done by creating and analysing a gold standard of decision knowledge documentation and a survey with developers who provided feedback on the plug-in extension. …

Structural behavior and modeling of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites for earthquake-resistant design
… key locations in a damage-critical structural component. Concrete plate specimens comprising mixes containing from one to two percent volume fraction of hooked steel fibers and Spectra (polyethylene) fibers were tested. After exploration of these different fiber types and volume fractions, a …
