Assembly Live Load Consistency for Buildings: Gateway to Reducing Embedded Energy

Dating back to the 1800’s, there have been live load surveys and analyses, particularly of area-dependent loads in office buildings. As will be shown, however, while some occupancy loads have received careful examination, assembly has almost been an afterthought. Indeed, there has been no systematic … [Read more...] about Assembly Live Load Consistency for Buildings: Gateway to Reducing Embedded Energy

Performance and Repair of Ordinary Structural Walls Subjected to Wind and Seismic Loading Protocols

This research involves large scale testing on ordinary reinforced concrete walls with C-shaped and rectangular corss-sections to develop performance-based wind design recommendations for ACI committees 375 and 318.  … [Read more...] about Performance and Repair of Ordinary Structural Walls Subjected to Wind and Seismic Loading Protocols

Anchoring Columns to Foundations

The objective of this this project is to explore the applicability of various ACI 318-14 provisions to the design of column-to-footing connections, and thereby to provide improved clarity about which provisions apply in which cases. This research will conduct physical tests on representative … [Read more...] about Anchoring Columns to Foundations

Foundation Mats with High Strength Steel Reinforcement

There is an increasing economic incentive to use Grade 80 and Grade 100 reinforcing steel in seismic and non-seismic applications. This research aims to advance the use of high-strength reinforcement in buildings assigned to all Seismic Design Categories. The goal of this research project is to … [Read more...] about Foundation Mats with High Strength Steel Reinforcement
