Rocks and rock-like materials may be failed due to high temperatures and inevitable dynamic loading. The understanding of damage and failure of rocks and rock-like materials subjected to thermal and dynamic loadings is thus important in many engineering applications. In this dissertation, the failure parameters (uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength and fracture toughness), the failure criterion and the damage evolution of rocks and rock-like materials are investigated over a wide range of loading rates at different heat-treatment temperatures. The influence of thermally induced damage on the dynamic failure parameters of rock-like materials is investigated. The specimens heat-treated at different temperatures were tested using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus. X-ray micro-CT scanning is used to quantify the thermally induced damage of specimens before mechanical loading. The results show that the dynamic failure parameters change with the loading rate and the heat-treatment temperature. The formulas for describing the dependence of the dynamic failure parameters on the thermal effect and the loading rate effect are established using the damage variable. To study the applicability of the dynamic failure criterion, the dynamic punch shear strength and failure parameters of rocks are systematically measured using the SHPB system. A recently developed dynamic Mohr-Coulomb theory is used to interpret the data. The applicability of the dynamic Mohr-Coulomb theory is validated, and the dynamic UCS and the dynamic tensile strength predicted with the dynamic punch shear strength through the dynamic Mohr-Coulomb theory are consistent with those directly measured. The dynamic damage evolution of rocks is studied by using the strain control technique in a modified SHPB system. The stress-strain relations of rocks with the different strain levels are obtained under different compressive loading rates. The recovered specimens, after being subjected to controlled strains, are examined using X-ray micro-CT scanning machine. Three dimensional microcrack networks induced by the different dynamic loading rates are observed and the damage evolution at different loading rates is analyzed.

▼ Partitioned analysis methods have been mostly used in hybrid (experimental-numerical) simulations, multiphysics, and large-scale structure-media problems since they allow decomposition of a complex structural system into smaller subsystems. Although they have been considered to be superior to monolithic methods in terms of software reuse, difficulties still exist in the implementation process. This study addresses these difficulties and proposes a generalized integrated simulation framework to ease the coupling of the substructures analyzed with different Finite Element (FE) codes or tested with experimental specimens. This is enabled by the development of a generalized communication routine and the use of a staggered partitioned approach such that each involved program can act as a black box which is accessible only through standard model input and output, i.e. only boundary displacements and forces. In the simulation framework, the substructures to be integrated can be either quasi-statically or dynamically simulated which corresponds to the component-level and system-level decompositions of a system. The intent of the component-level and system-level decomposition methods are different. Specifically, the component-level decomposition method is aimed to capture the nonlinear hysteretic behaviour of critical structural components and consider their influence on the system’s response. The system-level decomposition method, on the other hand, equally treats the partitions as independent dynamic substructures and it focuses on the dynamic interactions among the substructures. The accuracy and stability of the two integrated simulation methods are evaluated and their implementations to different analysis software have been verified. The simulation framework has been successfully used in various industry and research projects. To illustrate the current development and demonstrate potential of the simulation framework, two application examples are presented. One application is made for the performance assessment of a high-rise building based on the component-level decomposition method. The other example is a nuclear power plant containment structure with soil-structure interaction based on the system-level decomposition method.

▼ High-performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) are cementitious materials with improved mechanical characteristics and enhanced durability properties relative to conventional concrete. Most contain only one type of fibre that benefits performance within a limited range of deformation. Hybrid steel fibre-reinforced concrete (HySFRC) attempts to take advantage of different fibres by combining them. This dissertation examines the synergistic effects between steel fibres of different geometries, from the material to the structural level under shear-dominated conditions, by examining mixtures with the same total fibre volumetric ratio. At the material level, tests on cubes, cylinders, dogbones and prisms under bending were performed. A novel dogbone configuration suitable for FRC was also developed. The benefits of fibre hybridization on the shear behaviour and cracking properties of HySFRC with conventional steel reinforcement were evaluated using fourteen panel specimens. The test results showed that fibre hybridization benefited performance both at the serviceability limit state (SLS) and at the ultimate limit state (ULS) relative to the monofibre counterparts. These benefits in the mechanical performance may help reduce congestion of conventional reinforcement. Moreover, hybridization offers flexibility in the constitutive characteristics of the basic mechanical properties of concrete, which is useful for targeted concrete designs. An investigation on modelling HySFRC in shear was also conducted. Analysis identified the need for the development of a model that accurately captures the enhanced tensile post-cracking behaviour due to fibre bridging within the framework of the Disturbed Stress Field Model (Vecchio, 2000). The proposed formulations build on the Simplified Diverse Embedment Model (SDEM) developed by Lee, Cho and Vecchio (2013). Advancements include the consideration of interaction between fibres that are pulled-out simultaneously, the synergistic influence of short fibres on the pull-out behaviour of the longer fibres, and the fibre-matrix interactions that influence the bond-slip behaviour of a single fibre. Verification studies on structural elements were performed using the finite element analysis program VecTor2. Advisors/Committee Members: Vecchio, Frank J., Civil Engineering.

▼ Although a soft storey mechanism is generally undesirable for the seismic response of building structures, it could provide potential benefits due to the isolating effect it produces. This thesis proposes a retrofit strategy for buildings that are expected to develop soft storey mechanisms, taking advantage of the positive aspects of the soft storey response while mitigating the negative ones. After a review of traditional considerations that are made for soft storey structures, the work starts by comparing the behaviour of an RC frame building with two infill configurations; in the first configuration, it is assumed that masonry infills are distributed over all storeys uniformly, while in the next step and in order to consider soft storey effects, it is assumed that masonry infills are not present at the ground storey. Results of incremental dynamic analyses indicate that structures with uniform infill are less likely to collapse. However, if the displacement demands at the first level of soft storeys could be sustained, their overall performance would be significantly improved. Following this initial study, a gapped inclined brace (GIB) system is proposed with the aim of significantly reducing the likelihood of collapse whilst ensuring that the seismic damage concentrates at this single level, protecting the rest of the structure located above. The GIB system achieves these aims by reducing P-Delta effects at the first floor of soft storey buildings without significantly increasing their lateral resistance. The mechanics of the proposed system are defined and a systematic design procedure is explained and illustrated. The theoretical relations that are derived for GIB systems are verified through numerical analyses. Results of cyclic static and incremental dynamic analyses demonstrate that the overall seismic performance of soft storey buildings retrofitted using a GIB system is greatly improved, indicating that the GIB system produces an efficient and intelligent soft storey mechanism at the first level of such buildings, which provides several advantages over conventional approaches. The last part of the thesis discusses various uncertainties that remain about the potential of GIB systems, including the best likely connection details for GIB systems, which should be investigated as part of future research.

▼ The communities living and working within many of today's high density urban cores are pushing for greater transparency in planning and governance, and a higher level of public involvement in the identification of impacts of construction activities and mitigating them. Lately, the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has enabled the use of electronic community engagement, which provides greater accessibility and wider reach. However, these technologies have exhibited a deficiency partially due to a lack of an automated semantic platform for knowledge exchange. To engage the public, the process needs to extend beyond simple, one-way communication into a realm where relevant knowledge is more easily shared between the public and project teams. Thus, this research proposes a social, semantic, customized knowledge exchange framework to address this gap. The main purpose of this research is to extend the scope of construction management research that is typically limited to a number of stakeholders such as the designer, builder, owner and regulatory authority. The proposed framework is intended to complement the current process rather than completely replace it. To successfully create this partnership between project teams (planners and designers) and the public, this research uses ontologies as a formal form of knowledge representation. The social web and other social networking tools are also proposed as the best available technologies to maintain public engagement. Finally, as a way to enhance the user experience on the web implementation of this social-semantic framework, a wayfinding and recommender system is integrated. The eSocOnto ontology and decision support framework were evaluated with the aid of domain experts. The ontology and framework were also further validated through the development of a web software platform as a proof of concept to showcase a variety of features enabled by the framework and the knowledge base.

▼ This dissertation presents the implementation, verification and application of a state of the art dynamic testing method, namely the real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) technique, using two cost-effective and reliable computational/control platforms. RTHS is a practical and economical experimental technique that complements the realism of physical testing with the power of numerical simulation. In this method, by dividing the structure into two parts, known as the experimental and analytical substructures, and synchronizing them, the equations of motion are solved in real-time, thus capturing the load-rate dependencies in an accurate manner. In the first part of the dissertation, the RTHS method is implemented using a small-scale shaker available for research and education. The implementation of the method is followed by the verification experiments to assure the reliability of the RTHS platform. As an application example, this platform is utilized to investigate the dynamic behavior of structures equipped with tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) in small scale. The second part of the dissertation presents a user re-configurable computational/control platform developed to conduct RTHS. The architecture of this platform is based upon the integration of a real-time controller and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This not only enables the user to apply user-defined control laws to control the experimental substructures, but also provides ample computational resources to run the integration and analytical substructure state determination algorithms in real-time. After the presentation of the hardware design and software development details, the platform is validated experimentally. The effect of force measurement errors on the RTHS results is the next topic discussed in this dissertation. An application example of the developed platform that investigates the performance of different structural systems equipped with large-scale TLDs is presented. Additionally, further developments on the inner loop control as well as outer loop computations are accomplished in collaboration with other researchers. Advisors/Committee Members: Mercan, Oya, Civil Engineering.
