As a new type of structural system, the cast-in-situ reinforced concrete grillage shear wall system has functions of formwork, strength and heat preservation at the same time. It is suitable for residential buildings in seismic and non-seismic areas. The results of quasi-static tests on 20 specimens of small and large grid size grillage shear walls with different shear span ratios show that: both of small and large grid size grillage shear walls have excellent seismic performance; shear or bending deformation of horizontal and vertical limbs dissipate seismic energy so the elastic-plastic deformability of grillage shear walls meet the requirements of shear wall structure under strong earthquakes; the bearing capacity of grillage shear wall was calculated with formulas used for solid RC shear walls. The equivalent thickness of grillage shear wall equalized as solid shear wall is determined by elastic finite element analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Experimental and numerical studies conducted in the past three decades have demonstrated that a steel plate shear wall is an effective and economical lateral load resisting system against both wind and earthquake forces. The system consists of infill steel plates connected to boundary beams and columns over the full height of the framed bay. The infill plates can be stiffened or unstiffened and the beam-to-column connections can be rigid or shear connections. A properly designed steel plate shear wall has superior ductility, high initial stiffness, stable hysteresis loops, and good energy absorption capacity. These characteristics make the system outstanding in high-risk seismic regions. Use of steel plate shear wall systems has been shown to be more cost effective than the other lateral load resisting systems. Steel plate shear walls are much lighter than the commonly used reinforced concrete shear walls, which reduce both the gravity loads and seismic forces. This aspect significantly reduces the foundation costs and makes the system outstanding for application in rehabilitation projects. Whereas construction cost of stiffened steel plate shear wall is more than unstiffened steel plate shear wall therefore in this investigation the unstiffened steel plate shear wall has been studied as two types of simple and corrugated plate and the behavior has been compared in one story frame. This study was conducted with finite element approach theoretically. The results of this study demonstrated that behavior of corrugated plate is superior to simple plate because it has high loading capacity, ductility and energy absorption.

Full textAbstract:
A dual structural system consists of a momentresisting frame, and vertical reinforced concrete walls called shear walls. Shear walls used in tall buildings are generally located around elevator cores and stairwells. Many possibilities exist in a tall building regarding the location, shape, number, and arrangement of shear walls. Shear walls generally start at the foundation level and are continuous throughout the building height. Their thickness can be as low as 150mm in lowrise to medium-rise buildings or as high as 400mm in high-rise buildings. To establish an effective lateral force-resisting system, the shear walls are located in preferable positions in a structure that minimizes lateral displacements. The shear walls are situated in ideal locations to be symmetrical and torsional effects get reduced. Based on the comparison of various literature regarding the shear wall positions, the shear wall placement at the core or the corners of the structure symmetrically gives the best performance to reduce displacement and story drift. Also, lateral displacement diminishes when the shear wall’s thickness increases.

Based on a series of alternating, displacement-controlled load tests on ten one-third scale models, to study the behaviour of the interface of a hybrid shear wall system, it was proved that the concept of hybrid construction in earthquake prone regions is feasible. The hybrid shear-wall system consists of typical reinforced concrete shear walls with composite edge members or flanges. Ten different anchorage bar arrangements were developed and tested to evaluate the column-shearwall interface behaviour under cyclic shear forces acting along the interface between column and wall panel. Finite element models of the test specimens were developed that were capable of capturing the integrated concrete and reinforcing steel behaviour in the wall panels. Special models were developed to capture the interface behaviour between the edge columns and the shear wall. A comparison between the experimental results and the numerical results shows excellent agreement, and clearly supports the validity of the model developed for predicting the non-linear response of the hybrid wall system under various load conditions.

CTSRC structure is a new composite structural system for residential buildings and it consists of walls and floors which are made of the prefabricated steel skeleton and the infill of concrete. Four pieces of CTSRC shear wall specimens and one piece of RC shear wall specimen are tested under low cyclic lateral loads to study the final failure modes and analyze its structural seismic performance. It shows that the CTSRC shear wall structure possess adequate bearing capacity, fine seismic performance and ductility. CTSRC shear walls are better than RC shear walls in the seismic behavior, and it could replace traditional shear walls structure applying to practical engineering. Inserting ring used for connecting profile steel can transfer stress well and it is recognized as a reasonable construction measure.

Abstract: In structural engineering, a shear wall is a vertical element of a seismic force resisting system that is designed to resist in-plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic loads. In many jurisdictions, the International Building Code and International Residential Code govern the design of shear walls. A shear wall resists loads parallel to the plane of the wall. Collectors also known as drag members; transfer the diaphragm shear to shear walls and other vertical elements of the seismic force resisting system. Shear walls are typically light-framed walls with shear panels, reinforced concrete walls, and reinforced masonry walls. The G+15 story structures situated in earthquake zones III, IV and V will be considered for study. All frames are designed under same gravity loading. Response spectrum method is used for seismic analysis. ETABS software is used and the results are compared. The results were obtained in the form of top story displacement, Story drift, Base shear and displacement

This paper reports an investigation into the behaviour of wood-steel composite shear walls, consisting of strand laminated lumber boundary frames with infill steel plates. Recently it has been shown that wood-steel composite shear wall systems can offer various advantages over code-approved wood frame shear walls, including architectural flexibility. However, further research is needed so as to gain a better insight and understanding into the structural behaviour of this lateral load resisting system. On this basis, three-dimensional full-scale finite element models are developed and used to simulate the wood-steel composite shear wall with solid infill plates and with centrally-perforated infill plates. In this paper, firstly, a three-dimensional finite element model of wood-steel composite shear wall under monotonic loading. The numerical results were compared with experimental data and it was found that the model can predict the behaviour of wood-steel composite shear walls with reasonable precision. Using the verified model, a parametric study on wood-steel composite shear wall models with and without openings was performed. Critical parameters influencing the wood-steel composite shear walls behaviour such as the thickness of the steel plate and the opening ratio were investigated. The results of this parametric study provide useful information for the engineering application of wood-steel composite shear wall systems.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the foundation beam linked between two shear walls in the presence of lateral loads. Mat foundation with shear walls is one of the most commonly used reinforced concrete structural systems to resist the lateral load. When two independent walls are connected with a link beam, also known as the coupling beam, the overturning resistance of the building is largely increased. However, the coupling beams are relatively weaker structures and can develop larger stresses. When there is a mat foundation, or pile cap in case of pile foundation, the part of the foundation which is right below the coupling beam where no shear wall is present, will also get large stresses due to the highly rigid nature of adjacent shear walls. Most of the lateral deformations are imposed only on the coupling beams and foundation beam. There is not much literature or design procedure found in books and codes to mitigate the high risks associated with the foundation beam between shear walls on its design vulnerability. This thesis is focused on the risks associated with exceptionally high forces on the foundation beam due to earthquake forces.

This Ph.D. dissertation is the result of a three-year research activity focused on structural and seismic engineering applied to innovative timber constructive systems. The main purpose is to give a contribution to international scientific research and current design practice about the seismic behaviour of timber shear-wall systems, which still represent an innovation in the construction industry and are being developed due to their favourable characteristics.
An initial overview on the use of main timber structural systems in seismic-prone areas for low- and medium-rise buildings is provided, within the context of current European seismic code.
The theme of the seismic design of timber shear-wall systems is discussed in the first part, giving close attention to linear and non-linear modelling criteria: various strategies are proposed and main characteristics are highlighted. Basic definitions and concepts proper of the seismic analysis of timber structures are provided. A particular attention is paid to the definition and application of the capacity design approach and the close link with the concept of behaviour factor is emphasized. Finally, the definition of behaviour factor, as product between an “intrinsic” capacity of the structure and a design over-strength value is proposed. This definition allows to characterize the structural systems with their proper dissipative capacity and to evaluate separately the safety reserve introduced by design.
The second part analyses the structural behaviour of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology, which represents one of the most common timber structural systems. The concepts of ductility, dissipative capacity, regularity and irregularity applied to CLT system are provided. The seismic response and the dissipative capacity of this system are firstly evaluated via an experimentally based procedure. Then, the evaluation of its intrinsic dissipative capacity is determined via non-linear numerical modelling with the aim of studying the correlation with the construction variables. Results show that the construction design decisions affect the seismic response and dissipative capacity of buildings, as opposed to apply a single behaviour factor value to the whole CLT technology. A statistical analysis applied to numerical results allowed also to propose analytical formulations for the computation of the suitable behaviour factor value for regular buildings. Then, the same analyses carried out on in-elevation non-regular buildings returned a correction factor to account for the reduction in dissipative capacity due to irregularity.
The application of the CLT technology to realize high-rise buildings is presented in the third part, analysing the behaviour of slender buildings with seismic resisting core and perimeter shear walls. The major limitations and drawbacks in realizing these structures in areas characterized by high seismic intensity and their implication in the design are reported.
The final part presents three novel structural systems as alternative to more common technologies, as CLT or platform frame. These innovative systems are characterized mainly by a diffuse dissipative and deformation capacity when subjected to seismic loads, while in CLT system such capacity is concentrated in connection elements. This different response is studied via quasi-static tests and numerical simulations. In detail, two non-glued massive timber shear walls and a mixed steel-timber wall with an innovative bracing system are presented.Questa tesi di dottorato è il risultato di tre anni di attività di ricerca in ambito ingegneristico strutturale applicato allo studio di sistemi costruttivi innovativi in legno. Il principale obiettivo è quello di fornire un contributo alla ricerca scientifica internazionale e ai metodi attuali di progettazione in merito alla risposta sismica di sistemi in legno a pareti sismo-resistenti, i quali rappresentano tutt’ora un’innovazione nel settore delle costruzioni e si stanno diffondendo grazie alle loro caratteristiche favorevoli. Una panoramica iniziale sull’utilizzo dei principali sistemi strutturali in legno in zone sismiche per la realizzazione di edifici bassi o di media altezza viene fornita e contestualizzata nella vigente normativa sismica europea. La prima parte della tesi affronta il tema della progettazione sismica di sistemi a pareti in legno, con particolare attenzione ai criteri di modellazione lineare e non lineare, proponendo diverse strategie ed evidenziandone le caratteristiche. In questa parte vengono forniti inoltre definizioni e concetti fondamentali propri dell’analisi sismica di strutture in legno. Un’attenzione particolare è riservata alla definizione e applicazione del “capacity design”, sottolineandone lo stretto legame con il concetto di fattore di struttura. Viene proposta infine una definizione del fattore di struttura come prodotto tra una parte intrinseca alla struttura e una sovraresistenza di progetto. Tale definizione permette di caratterizzare i sistemi strutturali con la propria capacità dissipativa e di valutare separatamente la riserva di sicurezza introdotta dalla progettazione. La seconda parte della tesi analizza il comportamento strutturale della tecnologia X-Lam (CLT), che rappresenta uno dei più comuni sistemi strutturali in legno. In questa parte vengono approfonditi i concetti di duttilità, capacità dissipativa, regolarità e irregolarità applicati al sistema X-Lam. La risposta sismica e la capacità dissipativa di questo sistema sono state preliminarmente valutate tramite una procedura analitico-sperimentale. Modelli numerici non-lineari hanno quindi permesso di valutarne la capacità dissipativa intrinseca in funzione delle variabili costruttive proprie del sistema. I risultati mostrano come le decisioni costruttive in fase di progettazione influenzino la risposta sismica dell’edificio; ciò è in contrasto all’applicazione di un unico valore del fattore di struttura per l’intera tecnologia X-Lam. Un’analisi statistica applicata a tali risultati numerici ha consentito di proporre formulazioni analitiche per il fattore di struttura per edifici regolari in funzione delle caratteristiche dell’edificio stesso. Infine, le stesse analisi condotte su edifici non regolari in altezza hanno fornito un coefficiente per tenere in conto della riduzione di capacità dissipativa a causa dell’irregolarità. Nella terza parte viene presentata un’applicazione della tecnologia X-Lam per costruire edifici alti, analizzando il comportamento di edifici snelli con nucleo sismo-resistente e pareti aggiuntive perimetrali. Vengono riportati inoltre le principali limitazioni e inconvenienti nel realizzare tali strutture in aree caratterizzate da elevata intensità sismica e le loro implicazioni nella progettazione. La parte finale descrive e analizza tre sistemi strutturali in legno innovativi, come alternative a tecnologie più comuni, quali X-Lam o platform-frame. Questi sistemi, soggetti ad azioni sismiche, sono caratterizzati da una capacità deformativa e dissipativa diffusa, al contrario del sistema X-Lam in cui tale capacità è concentrata principalmente negli elementi di connessione. Questa risposta differente è studiata attraverso test sperimentali quasi statici e simulazioni numeriche. In dettaglio, sono presentati e analizzati due sistemi a pareti massicce stratificate; realizzate senza l’uso di colla tra gli strati e una parete ibrida acciaio-legno con un sistema innovativo di controvento.

Full textAbstract:
Birds uniquely produce sound through a vocal organ known as a syrinx. The presence of wall shear stress acting on the airway cells of any organism will affect how airway cells develop and multiply. Unique features of avian airway geometry and breathing pattern might have contributed to the development of the syrinx. This thesis examines wall shear stress in the trachea and first bronchi of avian geometries using computational fluid dynamics. The computational fluid dynamic simulations underwent grid- and time-independence studies and were validated using particle image velocimetry. Parameters such as bird size, bronchial branching angle, and breathing waveform were examined to determine conditions that contributed to higher wall shear stress. Both simplified and CT scan-derived respiratory geometries were examined. Maximum wall shear stress for the simplified geometries was found to be highest during the inspiratory phase of breathing and was highest near the pessulus. Maximum wall shear stress in the CT scan-derived geometries was less phase-dependent and was highest near constrictions in the airway. Comparison between scanned and simplified geometry simulations revealed significant differences in wall shear stress magnitudes and flow features. If wall shear stress is found to be important in the development of the syrinx or the advantage of a syrinx, the thesis results are anticipated to aid in characterizing conditions that would have contributed to the development of the syrinx or advantages of syringeal vocal fold position over tracheal vocal fold position.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation proposes a strand-based wood composite product to be utilized as the vertical members of post-and-beam (P&B) shear walls. Since the shear wall performance is largely governed by connection systems holding the wall components together, the research focuses on the structural behaviour of two key connection types: nail and hold-down connections. The experimental studies were designed to evaluate the effects of orthogonal properties, such as vertical density profile of the strand-based product, on the connection performance. Static load tests were conducted following ASTM standards and Japanese HOWTEC connection performance guidelines. The test results showed that the connections with fasteners mounted on the face-side of the composite product outperform the ones with fasteners mounted on the product’s edge-side. Subsequently, full-scale shear wall tests were conducted on three P&B wall types to study the effect of the fastener driving direction on the wall performance. The test results confirmed that the shear walls with face-driven nails outperforms the ones with edge-driven nails in terms of load carrying capacity.
A detailed mechanics-based finite-element connection model RHYST was also developed to predict the load-displacement relationship of a nail connection. It was developed based on an existing connection model HYST which idealizes a dowel-type connector driven into a wood medium as an elasto-plastic beam embedded in a nonlinear foundation that only acts in compression. RHYST assumes that the lateral response of the wood medium does not decrease at any compressive displacement. The presented model takes into account the contribution of the fastener’s vertical displacements on the response of the foundation. The simulation results of RHYST agreed well with the reversed-cyclic nail connection test results in terms of load carrying capacity and energy dissipation. The model is also able to simulate strength and stiffness degradation between the repeated loading cycles. Moreover, the applicability of RHYST was confirmed by incorporating it as a subroutine in a finite-element shear wall model WALL2D. The simulation results of WALL2D with RHYST showed a good agreement with the wall test results.Forestry, Faculty of

The first aim of this work was to integrate, validate, and document, a digital particle image quantification (Flow-IQ) software package developed in conjunction with and supported by Aeroprobe Corporation. The system is tailored towards experimental fluid mechanics applications. The second aim of this work was to test the performance of DPIV algorithms in wall shear flows, and to test the performance of several particle sizing algorithms for use in spray sizing and average diameter calculation. Several particle sizing algorithms which assume a circular particle profile were tested with DPIV data on spray atomization, including three point Guassian, four point Gaussian, and least squares algorithms. A novel elliptical diameter estimation scheme was developed which does not limit the measurement to circular patterns. The elliptic estimator developed in this work is able to estimate the diameter of a particle with an elliptic shape, and assumes that the particle is axisymmetric about the x or y axis. Two elliptical schemes, the true and averaged elliptical estimators, were developed and compared to the traditional three point Gaussian diameter estimator using theoretical models. If elliptical particles are theoretically used, the elliptical sizing schemes perform drastically better than the traditional scheme, which is limited to diameter measurements in the x-direction. The error of the traditional method in determining the volume of an elliptical particle increases dramatically with the eccentricity. Monte Carlo Simulations were also used to characterize the error associated with wall shear measurements using DPIV. Couette flow artificial images were generated with various shear rates at the wall. DPIV analysis was performed on these images using PIV algorithms developed by other researchers, including the traditional multigrid method, a dynamically-adaptive DPIV scheme, and a control set with no discrete window offset. The error at the wall was calculated for each data set. The dynamically adaptive scheme was found to estimate the velocity near the wall with less error than the no discrete window offset and traditional multigrid algorithms. The shear rate was found to be the main factor in the error in the velocity measurement. In wall shear velocity measurement, the mean (bias) error was an order of magnitude greater than the RMS (random) error. A least squares scheme was used to correct for this bias error with favorable results. The major contribution of this effort stems from providing a novel elliptical particle sizing scheme for use in DPIV, and quantifies the error associated with wall shear measurements using several DPIV algorithms. A test bed and comprehensive user's manual for Flow-IQ v2.2 was also developed in this work.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a numerical study of a novel rocking cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear wall system for low- to mid-rise constructions. The system takes advantage of the high in-plane stiffness of CLT coupled with low-yield steel dampers to control the rocking motion of the CLT shear walls during earthquakes. The low-yield steel dampers connected between two rigid CLT wall panels provide the mechanism needed to dissipate the earthquake energy. This concentrates the damage in the dampers, allowing the system to be repaired efficiently after major earthquakes. Numerical models of the CLT shear wall system have been developed using both OpenSees Navigator and ABAQUS software. Models of low-yield steel damper systems were calibrated using available experimental results. With the rigid floor/roof assumption, a simplified OpenSees model of the CLT shear wall system was demonstrated to be effective and reasonably accurate in predicting the response of the system under large excitations. Therefore, it is efficient and reliable to apply the OpenSees model to study the seismic response of CLT shear wall buildings. A case study of a six-storey CLT shear wall building located in Vancouver, Canada was studied; and, detailed parameteric studies were conducted to investigate the influences of the damper type (damper shear strength), number of dampers, damper location, different earthquake records versus target earthquake design response spectrum, and earthquake peak ground acceleration (PGA) on the building response. It was determined that an optimized damper design with comprehensive consideration of these five factors can provide a building with a small roof drift ratio, as well as minor damages on the dampers. Concepts and examples for connection design are also provided.Forestry, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Modifications were made to the turbulent channel flow facility to allow for fully developed rough quasi-2D Poiseuille flow with flow injection through one surface and flow suction through the opposing surface. The combination of roughness and flow injection is designed to be analogous to the flow field over a thermal protection system which produces ablative pyrolysis gases during ablation. It was found that the additional momentum through the surface acted to reduce skin friction to a point below smooth-wall behavior. This effect was less significant with increasing Reynolds number. It was also found that the momentum injection modified the wake region of the flow.

Full textAbstract:
Atherosclerosis, the disease underlying most heart attacks and strokes, occurs predominantly at certain well-defined sites within the arterial system. Its development may therefore depend not only on systemic risk factors but also on locally varying biomechanical forces. There are three inter-related theories explaining the effect of biomechanics on atherosclerosis. In the first theory, a central role is played by lipid transport into the vessel wall, which varies as a result of mechanical forces. In the second theory, haemodynamic wall shear stress-the frictional force per unit area of endothelium arising from the movement of blood-activates signalling pathways that affect endothelial cell properties. In the third, strain-the stretch of the wall arising from changes in blood pressure-is the key biomechanical trigger. All three theories are discussed from historical, molecular, and clinical perspectives.

The aim of the paper was to determine the influence of root systems of chosen tree species found in the Polish Flysch Carpathians on the increase of soil shear strength (root cohesion) in terms of slope stability. The paper's goal was achieved through comprehensive tests on root systems of eight relatively common in the Polish Flysch Carpathians tree species. The tests that were carried out included field work, laboratory work and analytical calculations. As part of the field work, the root area ratio (A IA) of the roots was determined using the method of profiling the walls of the trench at a distance of about 1.0 m from the tree trunk. The width of the. trenches was about 1.0 m, and their depth depended on the ground conditions and ranged from 0.6 to 1.0 m below the ground level. After preparing the walls of the trench, the profile was divided into vertical layers with a height of 0.1 m, within which root diameters were measured. Roots with diameters from 1 to 10 mm were taken into consideration in root area ratio calculations in accordance with the generally accepted methodology for this type of tests. These measurements were made in Biegnik (silver fir), Ropica Polska (silver birch, black locust) and Szymbark (silver birch, European beech, European hornbeam, silver fir, sycamore maple, Scots pine, European spruce) located near Gorlice (The Low Beskids) in areas with unplanned forest management. In case of each tested tree species the samples of roots were taken, transported to the laboratory and then saturated with water for at least one day. Before testing the samples were obtained from the water and stretched in a. tensile testing machine in order to determine their tensile strength and flexibility. In general, over 2200 root samples were tested. The results of tests on root area ratio of root systems and their tensile strength were used to determine the value of increase in shear strength of the soils, called root cohesion. To this purpose a classic Wu-Waldron calculation model was used as well as two types of bundle models, the so called static model (Fiber Bundle Model — FIRM, FBM2, FBM3) and the deformation model (Root Bundle Model— RBM1, RBM2, mRBM1) that differ in terms of the assumptions concerning the way the tensile force is distributed to the roots as well as the range of parameters taken into account during calculations. The stability analysis of 8 landslides in forest areas of Cicikowicleie and Wignickie Foothills was a form of verification of relevance of the obtained calculation results. The results of tests on root area ratio in the profile showed that, as expected, the number of roots in the soil profile and their ApIA values are very variable. It was shown that the values of the root area ratio of the tested tree species with a diameter 1-10 ram are a maximum of 0.8% close to the surface of the ground and they decrease along with the depth reaching the values at least one order of magnitude lower than close to the surface at the depth 0.5-1.0 m below the ground level. Average values of the root area ratio within the soil profile were from 0.05 to 0.13% adequately for Scots pine and European beech. The measured values of the root area ratio are relatively low in relation to the values of this parameter given in literature, which is probably connected with great cohesiveness of the soils and the fact that there were a lot of rock fragments in the soil, where the tests were carried out. Calculation results of the Gale-Grigal function indicate that a distribution of roots in the soil profile is similar for the tested species, apart from the silver fir from Bie§nik and European hornbeam. Considering the number of roots, their distribution in the soil profile and the root area ratio it appears that — considering slope stability — the root systems of European beech and black locust are the most optimal, which coincides with tests results given in literature. The results of tensile strength tests showed that the roots of the tested tree species have different tensile strength. The roots of European beech and European hornbeam had high tensile strength, whereas the roots of conifers and silver birch in deciduous trees — low. The analysis of test results also showed that the roots of the studied tree species are characterized by high variability of mechanical properties. The values Of shear strength increase are mainly related to the number and size (diameter) of the roots in the soil profile as well as their tensile strength and pullout resistance, although they can also result from the used calculation method (calculation model). The tests showed that the distribution of roots in the soil and their tensile strength are characterized by large variability, which allows the conclusion that using typical geotechnical calculations, which take into consideration the role of root systems is exposed to a high risk of overestimating their influence on the soil reinforcement. hence, while determining or assuming the increase in shear strength of soil reinforced with roots (root cohesion) for design calculations, a conservative (careful) approach that includes the most unfavourable values of this parameter should be used. Tests showed that the values of shear strength increase of the soil reinforced with roots calculated using Wu-Waldron model in extreme cases are three times higher than the values calculated using bundle models. In general, the most conservative calculation results of the shear strength increase were obtained using deformation bundle models: RBM2 (RBMw) or mRBM1. RBM2 model considers the variability of strength characteristics of soils described by Weibull survival function and in most cases gives the lowest values of the shear strength increase, which usually constitute 50% of the values of shear strength increase determined using classic Wu-Waldron model. Whereas the second model (mRBM1.) considers averaged values of roots strength parameters as well as the possibility that two main mechanism of destruction of a root bundle - rupture and pulling out - can occur at the same. time. The values of shear strength increase calculated using this model were the lowest in case of beech and hornbeam roots, which had high tensile strength. It indicates that in the surface part of the profile (down to 0.2 m below the ground level), primarily in case of deciduous trees, the main mechanism of failure of the root bundle will be pulling out. However, this model requires the knowledge of a much greater number of geometrical parameters of roots and geotechnical parameters of soil, and additionally it is very sensitive to input data. Therefore, it seems practical to use the RBM2 model to assess the influence of roots on the soil shear strength increase, and in order to obtain safe results of calculations in the surface part of the profile, the Weibull shape coefficient equal to 1.0 can be assumed. On the other hand, the Wu-Waldron model can be used for the initial assessment of the shear strength increase of soil reinforced with roots in the situation, where the deformation properties of the root system and its interaction with the soil are not considered, although the values of the shear strength increase calculated using this model should be corrected and reduced by half. Test results indicate that in terms of slope stability the root systems of beech and hornbeam have the most favourable properties - their maximum effect of soil reinforcement in the profile to the depth of 0.5 m does not usually exceed 30 kPa, and to the depth of 1 m - 20 kPa. The root systems of conifers have the least impact on the slope reinforcement, usually increasing the soil shear strength by less than 5 kPa. These values coincide to a large extent with the range of shear strength increase obtained from the direct shear test as well as results of stability analysis given in literature and carried out as part of this work. The analysis of the literature indicates that the methods of measuring tree's root systems as well as their interpretation are very different, which often limits the possibilities of comparing test results. This indicates the need to systematize this type of tests and for this purpose a root distribution model (RDM) can be used, which can be integrated with any deformation bundle model (RBM). A combination of these two calculation models allows the range of soil reinforcement around trees to be determined and this information might be used in practice, while planning bioengineering procedures in areas exposed to surface mass movements. The functionality of this solution can be increased by considering the dynamics of plant develop¬ment in the calculations. This, however, requires conducting this type of research in order to obtain more data.

Specifically, it describes the as-built status in terms of structural organization, member detailing, and existing materials properties. Then, it outlines the main assumptions and results obtained from seismic analysis, of both as-built and retrofitted structure. Comments about the construction stage are also reported by describing the main operations put in place with the aim to realize the shear wall system, which is the main retrofitting intervention, and some local strengthening measures consisting in steel plating and jacketing of some underdesigned RC members. Some emphasis is placed on the realization of micro-piles and extra foundations of the aforementioned shear walls.

AbstractProper structural system and performance-based seismic design are the key issues in designing high-rise building structures. This project has unique building facade shape and complex plane function layout, and the structural plane and vertical layout are irregular. The superstructure adopts assembled integral concrete frame-shear wall structure, which is judged as out-of-code high-rise building by seismic review. Firstly, the site conditions, foundation design and structural form selection are introduced. Then, YJK software is used to calculate and analyze the seismic force of the superstructure, and the seismic performance indexes of the structure can meet the requirements of the code. Finally, the regularity of each structural unit of the superstructure is judged, and the corresponding main seismic strengthening measures are put forward.

AbstractThe effective application of lightweight stay-in-place concrete forms for casting shear walls subjected to wind and seismic loading is of particular concern to practitioners. Insufficient technical data available for new kinds of wall systems, such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) form walls, hinder their implementation in construction practice. To that end, an effective experimental and numerical campaign was launched at Western Sydney University to investigate the structural performance of PVC form walls when subjected to in-plane shear loading. A set of push-out specimens was designated to conduct monotonic in-plane shear tests until failure. All failure phenomena, capping strengths, and ductility capacities were monitored. Test results indicated that the embedded PVC latticed webs could efficiently protect the concrete web from sudden crushing and improve ductility capacity and failure pattern of the specimens. Nonlinear finite element analysis on test specimens was also conducted and good correlation with experiment results was achieved.

Full textAbstract:
The flow field inside a 50% eccentric whirling annular seal operating at a Reynolds number of 24,000 and a Taylor number of 6,600 has been measured using a 3-D laser Doppler anemometer system. Flush mount pressure and wall shear stress probes have been used to measure the stresses (normal and shear) along the length of the stator. The rotor was mounted eccentrically on the shaft so that the rotor orbit was circular and rotated at the same speed as the shaft (a whirl ratio of 1.0). This paper presents mean pressure, mean wall shear stress magnitude and mean wall shear stress direction distributions along the length of the seal. Phase averaged wall pressure and wall shear stress are presented along with phase averaged mean velocity and turbulence kinetic energy distributions located 0.16c from the stator wall where c is the seal clearance. The relationships between the velocity, turbulence, wall pressure and wall shear stress are very complex and do not follow simple bulk flow predictions.

Full textAbstract:
Shear walls are efficient monotonic load resisting systems in high rise or super high rise framed structures and hence are the most critical elements in seismic design. This paper focus on application of Aluminium sandwich shear walls (ASSW) consist of aluminium panels as top and bottom plates and aluminium core to serve as seismic protection system. ASSW have the advantage that these are light weight systems with high stiffness to weight ratio and bending strength. These could well replace steel shear walls which are having more structural weight. This paper presents analytical analysis of performance of ASSW under monotonic and seismic loading using ANSYS software. Sandwich shear wall models were first simulated, verified and analysis was carried out. The response of aluminum sandwich shear wall with two different core shapes or configurations are studied to obtain optimum core shape or configuration for maximum load bearing capacity. Then full scale monotonic and cyclic tests were conducted on aluminium sandwich shear wall with optimum core shapes or configurations. The obtained results allow useful information for the selection of aluminium sandwich shear wall in the seismic design of framed structures.

Physiological flow parameters such as pressure and stress inside the vascular system strongly influence the physiology and function of vascular endothelial cells [1]. Variations in the shear stress experienced by endothelial cells affect morphology, alignment with the flow, mechanical strength, rate of proliferation, and gene expression [2]. Although it is known that these factors are dependent on the hemodynamics of the flow, the relationship has not been accurately quantified. In vitro bioreactor flow loops have been developed to simulate vascular flow for tissue conditioning and measurement of the endothelial cell response to varying shear [3–5]; however, wall shear stresses (WSS) have been estimated from the bulk flow rate by assuming Poiseuille flow [2, 6]. Due to the pulsatility of the flow, biochemical interactions, and the typically short vessel length, this assumption is fundamentally incorrect; however, the level of inaccuracy has not been quantified.

Abstract An automated three-dimensional particle tracking system has been evaluated for its ability to measure axial wall shear stress in a biologically relevant flow system. The flow system and particles modeled the conditions of monocytes in a large artery stenosis. It is shown that wall shear stress can be accurately obtained and that the error is a function of shear rate, shear rate gradient, and distance from the wall.

The growing awareness of pollutant emissions from gas turbines has made it very important to study fuel atomization system, the spray wall interaction and hydrodynamic of film formed on engine walls. A precise fuel spray spatial distribution and efficient fuel air mixing plays important role in improving combustion performance. Cross-flow injection and film atomization technique has been studied extensively for gas turbine engines to achieve efficient combustion. Air blast atomizer is one of these kind of systems used in gas turbine engines which involves shear driven prefilmer secondary atomization. In addition to gas turbine combustor shear driven liquid wall film can be seen in IC engines, rocket nozzles, heat exchangers and also on steam turbine blades. In our work we have used Eulerian Wall Film (EWF) [1] model to simulate the experiment performed by Arienti et al. [2]. In the Arienti’s experiment liquid jet is injected from a nozzle from the top of the chamber. Droplets shed from the jet surface due to primary and later secondary atomization in the presence of high shearing cross flowing air. Further liquid fuel particles hit the wall to form film, film moves subjected to shear from the gas phase. Liquid film can reatomizes due to subgrid processes like stripping, splashing and film breakup. In current study we have validated Arienti et al. [2] experimental data by modeling complex & coupled physics of spray, film and continuous phase and by accounting complex subgrid processes.

COLD FORMED STEEL SHEAR WALL RACKING ANALYSIS THROUGH A MECHANISTIC APPROACH: CFS-RAMA. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2022.18.3.2.
Full textAbstract:
Cold-formed steel shear wall panels are an effective lateral load resisting system in cold-formed steel or light gauge constructions. The behavior of these panels is governed by the interaction of the sheathing - frame fasteners and the sheathing itself. Therefore, analysis of these panels for an applied lateral load (monotonic/cyclic) is complex due to the inherent non-linearity that exists in the fastener-sheathing interaction. This paper presents a novel and efficient, fastener based mechanistic approach that can reliably predict the response of cold-formed steel wall panels for an applied monotonic lateral load. The approach is purely mechanistic, alleviating the modelling complexity, computational costs and convergence issues which is generally confronted in finite element models. The computational time savings are in the order of seven when compared to the finite element counterparts. Albeit its simplicity, it gives a good insight into the component level forces such as on studs, tracks and individual fasteners for post-processing and performance-based seismic design at large. The present approach is incorporated in a computational framework - CFS-RAMA. The approach is general and thereby making it easy to analyze a variety of configurations of wall panels with brittle sheathing materials and the results are validated using monotonic racking test data published from literature. The design parameters estimated using EEEP (Equivalent Energy Elastic Plastic) method are also compared against corresponding experimental values and found in good agreement. The method provides a good estimate of the wall panel behavior for a variety of configurations, dimensions and sheathing materials used, making it an effective design tool for practicing engineers.

RESEARCH ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF L-SHAPED CONCRETE-FILLED STEEL TUBES COLUMN FRAME-BUCKLING RESTRAINED STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALLS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, September 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2023.19.3.8.
Full textAbstract:
Frame buckling restrained steel plate shear walls (BRSPSWs) have been widely used in high-rise residential buildings. L-shaped concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns were used in the frame in this research to investigate the impact of the frame members type in the BRSPSWs system. A nonlinear finite element model (NFEM) was generated to examine the seismic performance of BRSPSWs with various types of connections to the frame elements. The NFEM results were compared to test results to make them more reliable, and the comparison showed that the NFEM can predict the seismic behavior of BRSPSWs. Then based on the validated NFEM results, several parameters were analyzed in parametric studies to assess their impact on the performance of BRSPSWs, including leg's length, column's width-to-thickness, axial compression ratio, and height-to-thickness of the steel plate, concrete panel's thickness, and bolt arrangement. The effect of these parameters on lateral resistance and yield stiffness was reported and discussed. A theoretical model has also been proposed based on modified plate-frame interaction (MPFI) to calculate the yield lateral resistance of BRSPSWs. The outcomes of MPFI were validated through testing and NFEM findings, and the comparison revealed reasonable concurrence.
