The Force Floor: Design and Development of a Low-Cost 3D Force Sensing Area Which Utilises Machine Learning to Estimate 3D GRF and CoP from Single-Axis Loadcells
… in its behaviour. This research investigates the design and small-scale manufacture (to 20 units) of a low-cost force plate design that utilises a machine learning model to overcome these limitations and estimate 3D GRF and centre of pressure from a series of single-axis loadcells. A literature …

Behavior of composite semi-rigid beam-to-girder connections
Advancements in design technology and construction materials have allowed composite floor systems to become longer and shallower. As a result, serviceability considerations rather than strength considerations have started to control designs. Partial continuity in composite floor systems has been …

Sketches Count: The Mies Van Der Rohe’s Dirksen Courthouse Archive Redrawn
… conventions underlying contemporary courthouse design. Archived in the Mies van der Rohe Archive at the Museum of Modern Art New York, a significant resource associated with the design of the courthouse is the extensive documentation of the design process at the office of Mies. This body of work …

A study of the design and thermal performance of two-storey earth sheltered houses for the UK climate
… residential development in South Wales, UK. When designed as Exposed South Wall type earth sheltered houses, which incorporate a number of passive solar design principles, each house provides a ratio of 0.508 for the internal floor area to the overall plot area, which is more efficient than 0.319 …

Behavior and modeling of partially restrained beam-girder connections
Beams in a typical steel framed floor design are assumed to have pinned supports for purposes of design. In reality, the connections between the beams and girders in a steel framed floor system are not pinned. The design bending moments and deflections of the attached beam could be reduced if the …

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of a New Flat Slab System Incorporating GFRP Stay-In-Place Structural Forms and Embedded I-Beams
A novel steel-free concrete flat-slab design for floors is introduced. It includes embedded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) I-sections as primary and secondary beams, with columns supporting the primary beams. GFRP stay-in-place (SIP) structural forms span the spacing between, and are bonded …

Strength Calculation Model for Standoff Screws in Composite Joists
… compatible with the Load Factor Resistance Design (LRFD) procedure that would allow the use of this shear connector in design of composite floor systems. The study considers results from push-out tests using this type of screw reported by Hankins et al. (1994), Alander et al. (1998), Webler …

Floor Vibrations: Girder Effective Moment of Inertia and Cost Study
… analysis comparing composite and non-composite floor systems that meet vibrations design standards, were conducted. The first study was undertaken because over-prediction of girder effective moment of inertia was the suspected cause of several recent vibration problems in floors supported by …
