Headed reinforcing bars have been used in concrete construction in the past. Previous research has been conducted on the use of headed reinforcing bars as longitudinal ba[...]

The use of headed reinforcement is relatively new in masonry walls. Research is being conducted to determine if splice lengths can be reduced when heads are present. Prev[...]

A lamella roof offers a unique architectural feature in its interwoven network of timbers. As a roof system, the stiffness created by the interlocking members results in [...]

A large amount of research has been performed on prying action since the 1950’s which led to modern design procedures. However, many unknowns still exist. One of the unkn[...]

Headed reinforcing bars are becoming more popular in the construction industry; however, there is relatively little known about the interaction of the head and bond in re[...]

One of the most commonly used connection types in steel frame buildings is a shear connection. These connections are typically designed only for vertical shear, though pr[...]

The slip-track connection is one of the most commonly used connections when designing curtain wall systems. There is little guidance in the American Iron and Steel Instit[...]

Simple shear connections have been commonly used in steel-frame construction because they are quick to erect and relatively cost effective. The connections are used for s[...]

This study focused on creating a model using finite element analysis to accurately predict the maximum force, maximum displacement, and failure mode of a cold-formed stee[...]

The purpose of this capstone design project report is to discuss the behavior of a hooked bar in concrete carrying a tension force. The cover and bonded length are varied[...]
