Creep Behaviour of Post-Installed Adhesive Anchors under Various Sustained Load Levels and Environmental Exposures
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-16)This thesis describes an experimental study on the long-term creep behaviour of adhesive anchors under sustained tensile loads in combination with different environmental exposures. A comprehensive background and literature ... -
Nonlinear Macromechanical Analysis of Polymeric Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)A new methodology for predicting the short term and long term responses of viscoelastic and viscoplastic materials is developed in this research. The methodology aims to predict the behaviour of viscoelastic/viscoplastic ... -
Time-Dependent Tensile Properties of ETFE Foils
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of ETFE foil, as it applies to pneumatic cushion cladding, with a focus on creep behavior of the material. Characteristics of ETFE, including weight, optics, insulation, ...
