The study covers part of a project aiming at the investigation of cell failures and assessment of service life of a cellular cofferdam breakwater which was built as a permanent structure at Calumet Harbor in Lake Michigan near Chicago, Illinois. The structure was analyzed for a series of direction-dependent local wave load patterns using two-dimensional vertical slice and three dimensional finite element models in parallel to evaluate the performances on a comparative basis. A system of strain gauges designed to obtain data to be used as reference for validation of the finite element models was installed in two of the cells of breakwater. The analyses results showed that predictions by both models regarding the interlock forces, displacements and lateral pressures were consistent in the construction simulation stage. Differences, however, became more predominant as the permanent effects of wave loads were simulated. Regarding the wave load analyses, three-dimensional model predictions resulted in a better agreement with the field recorded data.

Finite element analysis and tests of composite beams with fiber bragg grating sensors under torsional load for structural health monitoring applications
Karataş, Cansu; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, feasibility of Fiber Bragg Grating sensors for Structural Health Monitoring applications of composite structures is studied. The method and essentials for the manufacturing process of composite beams with embedded Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are presented. Composite beams instrumented with surface bonded and embedded Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are tested under static torsional load. In addition, Finite Element Analyses of composite beams under torsional load is conducted using the commercia...
Multidimensional performance monitoring of a recently constructed steel-stringer bridge
Helmicki, A; Hunt, V; Shell, M; Lenett, M; Türer, Ahmet; Dalal, V; Aktan, A (1999-09-10)
This paper will address the measurement and documentation of construction and service effects for a steel stringer bridge in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. It will demonstrate how various monitoring and field testing means can be brought together to evaluate the complete state of force in a bridge over its lifetime, together with the corresponding causative effects or events. Accumulated versus transient stresses and forces are evaluated through a regular regimen of long-term monitoring, diagnostic truckload an...
Seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete reinforced vertical panel buildings
Gökmen, Furkan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
In this study, the seismic behavior of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) reinforced panel walls and buildings was investigated. The structural members were investigated under cyclic lateral loading and axial load and the results were compared with the previous tests. The main objective of this study was to provide recommendations for nonlinear analysis of the reinforced AAC panel walls and buildings. OpenSees plat-form was chosen as the computational platform. The walls were modeled with fiber sections. The...
Structural rehabilitation and monitiring of a 28 story building
Ersoy, Ugur; Tankut, Tugrul; Türer, Ahmet; Ozcebe, Guney (null; 2012-01-01)
This paper reports the structural rehabilitation of a 28 story reinforced concrete building. Structural assessment of this building was initiated upon observing damage in one column after five years of service. As a result of this investigation it was concluded that the main cause of damage in the column was temperature induced deformations. A total of 36 circular (spiral) and 46 square (tied) columns were strengthened by steel jacketing. After the completion of rehabilitation, 122 sensors were placed in th...
Numerical modeling of cold-formed steel sheathed shear walls under lateral loading
Topçuoğlugil , Yağmur; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems have been used increasingly in seismically active regions. Shear walls consisting of CFS framing and sheathing panels constitute one type of lateral force resisting system for such CFS framed buildings. The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient numerical model to predict the lateral load response of shear walls that are framed with CFS profiles and sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Numerical modeling of shear walls was conducted in OpenSe...
