Husfeld, Rachel L. (2010-01-16)The objective of this study is to reduce the interstory drifts, floor accelerations, and shear forces experienced by masonry houses subject to seismic excitation. Ambient vibration testing was performed on a case study ...
-
Shook, David Adam (2009-05-15)Mitigation of displacement and acceleration responses of a three story benchmark structure excited by seismic motions is pursued in this study. Multiple 20-kN magnetorheological (MR) dampers are installed in the three-story ...

Roschke, Paul N. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1999-10-12)A soundwall and components are described that incorporate a significant amount of plastic materials while still retaining the strength, durability and resiliency necessary for the soundwall to resist wind loads and weathering. ...
