Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dinal tie comprises a threaded steel rod with a collapsible fastener that provides a means for attachment of a steel stud to brick veneer. The tie was developed in response to the failure of some brick tie systems and can be installed through existing masonry veneer and attached to the steel stud backup without removing any existing veneer, thus providing the potential for use in retrofit applications. This report describes tests conducted to determine the structural capabilities of the Dinal tie to steel stud connection and to develop likely design values. The test program included both tension (pullout) and compression tests on two different set-ups, each with different degrees of stud restraint. Service load considerations such as the effect of cyclic loading, the magnitude of the initial stiffness, and the contribution of secondary displacements including the local deformation of the steel stud are quantified, and safety considerations are also taken into account. Tentative service load design strengths are presented along with minimum pullout stiffness values.

This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an initial field study of the performance and durability of brick veneer/steel stud wall systems (BV/SS), CMHC commissioned a series of building science experiments and theoretical studies to see how deficiencies observed in the field could be avoided in future BV/SS designs. This guide summarizes the findings of several of these projects and shows how to apply the results. Subjects dealt with in the guide include: rain penetration control; condensation control; thermal bridging; construction sequencing; quality control; testing and commissioning; and maintenance and repair. Construction details (in DWG and DXF format) and the master specifications for lateral loadbearing steel studs (in WordPerfect 5 and ASCI 1 text) are provided on diskette and can be copied and modified for project use. Measurements are provided in both metric and imperial versions.

Book excerpt: This title provides a thorough theoretical and practical introduction to the application of neural networks to pattern recognition and intelligent signal processing. It has been tested on students, unfamiliar with neural networks, who were able to pick up enough details to successfully complete their masters or final year undergraduate projects. The text also presents a comprehensive treatment of a class of neural networks called common bandwidth spherical basis function NNs, including the probabilistic NN, the modified probabilistic NN, and the general regression NN.

Book excerpt: Structures everywhere are increasingly being subjected to sudden and extreme loading conditions. The main priority in any such event is the safety of the building occupants. Until recently, impact and blast resistant technologies had focused primarily on military structures, petrochemical facilities, and government buildings. Recent extreme events have influenced the transfer of these technologies to daily commercial and civilian use. Further research is needed into the implementation of extreme load-resistant technologies in the commercial building industry. This thesis presents a developmental study that included full-scale experiments on wall systems against out-of-plane uniform loading. The main objectives of this study were (1) to research and develop blast resistant enhancement techniques for brick veneer walls with steel stud backup systems; (2) to design and build a pressure loading facility to test full scale wall specimens under out-of-plane loading; (3) to experimentally determine the static loading capacity of the developed wall system designs; and (4) to compare the experimental results to finite element modeling analysis. The enhanced brick veneer on steel stud wall specimens were experimentally tested to failure with an out-of-plane load. The custom designed uniform load testing facility used a high-strength pressure bladder and reaction panel frame to conduct testing of the wall panels. Four specimens in total were tested. Component testing was also carried out to determine the reaction properties of the wall system fasteners. To achieve the desired tension-membrane response to the out-of-plane loading, connections between components had to be experimentally verified prior to full-scale specimen design and construction. Data collected for comparison during testing of the full-scale specimens included the load applied verses: deflection in the brick veneer, deflection in the steel studs, and load-distribution across the brick veneer ties. Finally, it is discussed that results presented from this study can be used as a basis for further experimental investigation into modern blast enhancement technologies, as well as some guidelines for their practical application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a test program to establish and document the performance of retrofit tie systems for brick veneer/steel stud walls. Specific objectives of the program were: to evaluate and assess the capabilities of four retrofit tie systems, two suited for retrofit from the exterior and two for installation working solely from the interior; to identify and apply the relevant performance requirements to the four systems; and to discuss the issues involved in connecting the brick veneer to the steel stud framing by means of ties, especially from a repair or retrofit perspective. The test program involved 435 tests of individual tie-stud connections which were assessed with respect to structural performance, specifically structural safety and serviceability. The test program included assessment of the influence of stud deformation and of cyclic loading. Recommendations are provided regarding the choice of an appropriate supplementary tie system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the development of the skeleton frame in the late nineteenth century, exterior building walls, traditionally of masonry, were utilized structurally as load-bearing supports. When this structural action of the walls was taken over by the skeleton frame, the walls evolved into only curtains of protection against wind and weather. Thus, the modern trend towards lightweight curtain wall enclosures is one logical adjunct to skeleton framing. While skeleton framing permits considerable architectural freedom as to the openness of building elevations (reaching a climax in the complete glass enclosure), there may be functional, aesthetic, and technical reasons for considerable opaque wall areas. The economically minded will observe that the concentration of stress from shallow flexural members and pointbearing of columns in skeleton frames lead to unnecessary structural severity, while opaque wall areas will permit deep flexural systems and load-bearing elements. Further, since much of interior wall construction is opaque, such areas can be exploited structurally for racking or shear resistance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the testing of clay masonry curtain walls assembled from prefabricated panels to show how such panel systems may be useful structurally for flexural, compressive, and shear action in building construction where skeleton framing may be partially or entirely eliminated. Provided sufficient ingenuity is employed in joining them properly, structural panel systems may prove more economical than skeleton framing when the use of the latter concentrates stresses. For many moderately sized buildings not over 6 or 7 (20 ft) bays in either direction, at least one-third of the columns and one-fourth of the beams are to be found in the exterior wall. For smaller buildings, the proportion approaches 50 per cent in the exterior walls. While it is conceded that the exterior framing is subject to roughly one-half the loading of interior framing, nevertheless, this analysis suggests that the use of structural curtain wall systems should have a significant influence on over-all framing costs.
