  • Bridge Aeroelastic Instability Mitigations

    Technical Report (2022)

    The purpose of this report is to focus on examining the effects of aerodynamic instabilities due to excessive wind loading on bridges, including the role vibrations have on structure movements, and will ultimately determine which aeroelastic instability mitigation strategy is best for an example long-span pedestrian bridge.

  • Comprehensive Analysis on Natural Stone Cladding Anchorage Systems

    Technical Report (2021)

    The purpose of this report is to focus on examining the distinctions between individual hand anchorages and recently developed grid anchorage systems for stone cladding rain screens, including the types of systems and how these anchorage systems function, and will ultimately determine the most feasible stone anchorage system through a sampled project quote analysis on two different wall geometries.

  • The Effects of Encapsulated Phase Change Materials Embedded Within Concrete

    Self Study (2020)

    The purpose of this report is to focus on examining the effects of Phase Change Materials in Concrete as a building material, including the negative implications it brings to the industry, and will ultimately determine which blend of PCM-Concrete is the most effective for construction development.
