title: Testing of moment-frame building systems with rocking foundations (first system test)

description: The purpose of this experiment is to experimentally evaluate the seismic performance of a low-rise moment-frame building when inelastic structural behavior and inelastic rocking foundation behavior coexist. Three different two-story-one-bay building structures were constructed and tested in this program. Those building models were designed with similar structural layout but with different strength of structural fuse and rocking foundation. The first tested model is termed as balanced design configuration, in which structural fuse and rocking footing were designed to yield at the same load. Rocking restrained model was then constructed by fixing the beam column connection at bottom floor, and was shaken the next day after the testing of the first system. The third examined system is foundation rocking dominated configuration, which aims to mobilize rocking foundation prior to structural fuse yielding. The last structural building-foundation system incorporated the opposed mechanism as the third one, wherein structural fuse hinging dominates. Those models were subjected to similar sequence of earthquake input motions. In addition, two bearing failure test were carried out at two different stations to evaluate the undrained shear strength of the overconsolidated clay. Note that the gravitational acceleration at the ground surface was generated to 30-g during spinning and shaking for each event.

title: Trench fighting pocket notebooks of Charles W. Carr

description: Sample pages from two Trench Warfare and Bombing pocket notebooks completed by Charles W. Carr, one is actually marked L. Cpl CW Carr, so these are probably prior to becoming a Sergeant. The writing is very neat and illustrated with colour sketches and show how to instruct men in various skills. The trainer's comments are annotated in red ink. The pages copied include: Musketry; Rapid Loading; Rapid Fire; Trench fighting; Formation of grenade party [for raiding enemy trenches], and how to progress down a hostile trench; and the Mk I (Mills - Lemon) bomb. From other notes/certificates in the collection these courses were probably completed in France in 1916.

title: Telegrams and official letters re. Charles W. Carr - missing presumed dead during the Battle of Paschendale

description: These telegrams and other official communications were sent to the family of Charles W. Carr when it was believed he was missing - presumed killed, and then when it was discovered he was in fact alive, but seriously wounded.

Charles Carr's son, Tony, has researched the battle in which his father was seriously wounded.

Sergeant Charles W. Carr, with D Company of the 2/5th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment, attacked Pond Farm on 22 August 1917. They captured this heavily fortified German position - manned by 50 picked machine gunners and 5 guns - "but my father did not make it!" In fact the official history of the regiment records that two 2nd Lieuts. and 16 other ranks were killed (the officer commanding D Company Capt. S. Tubbs had been killed earlier that day), and another 2nd Lieut. "and 51 other ranks were wounded and one other missing" - the one missing was probably Tony Carr's father. The story passed down is that Charles witnessed his friends being killed next to him as they charged Pond Farm, and he was machine gunned in the legs. He was lain down in a shell hole with another British soldier and some Germans (wounded and/or prisoners). Charles' mate Sidney Brunt passed by and shouted that he would go and get some medics for Charlie and his comrade. In the meantime some other medics arrived and removed Charlie. Before Sidney and the stretcher-bearers returned another bomb landed in the shellhole and blew where Charlie had lain to smithereens. When Sidney did return he assumed his friend had been killed. When it was possible he sent a telegram to Charles' family explaining some of this, and the family did not receive word from Charles himself until the 27th August.

title: Papers relating to Lillie Sarvent's application for a War Pension after the death of her husband in 1927

description: Papers appertaining to Lillie Sarvents' attempts to get a war pension. George was gassed in the first world war, and died in 1927. The Ministry of Pensions decided that his death was not connected to his service in the Great war.

During the First World War George was a Lance Bombardier (or Bombardier depending on which document you refer to) No. 120790, 244S. Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. He was gassed and admitted to Ward F3, No.12 General Hospital, Rouen on July 22, 1917. 

Some time after George died July 9, 1927 Lillie tried to get a war pension. As George was not in receipt of a disablement pension or allowance under the Royal Warrant at the time of his death Lillie was not eligible for the grant of a pension. The Ministry could not regard George's death as being connected with his service during the Great War.
George died aged 46 from 1a) Plurisy with effusion b) Pneumonicis. This was often attributed, by those who knew him, to being gassed in the war.

title: Buffalo - Single Joint Seismic Testing with Rinaldi and Joshua-Tree Ground Motions

description: The objective of this test series is to evaluate the seismic behaviors of the push-on joint after retrofit with Starline® 2000 liner under different type of ground motions and investigate the different behavior of the liner under dynamic loadings in comparison to static loadings.

Two sets of dynamic tests were performed on the East Joint and the West Joint of pipeline specimen SP3 using two different input ground motions, the Rinaldi record from the 1994 Northridge earthquakes and the Joshua-Tree (J-T) record from the 1992 Landers earthquake. These two ground motions were specifically selected because of their representative seismic characteristics. The Rinaldi ground motion is a typical near-field directivity ground motion with strong impulsive displacement, while the J-T ground motion has more uniformly displacement amplitudes over time and represents typical near-field reverse directivity or far-field ground motions.

The East Joint was subjected to three magnitudes of Rinaldi ground motions: 100%, 160%, and 200%.  The West Joint was subjected to eight different magnitudes of Joshua-Tree ground motions: 300%, 400%, 500%, 520%, 550%, 570%, 600%, and 900%.

title: Buffalo - Cyclic Tensile Tests of Single Joint

description: The objective of this test series is to investigate the behavior of the liner-strengthened joints subjected cyclic tensile loads under different internal water pressures: normal pipeline working pressure of 48 psi and lower pipeline working pressure of 16 psi.

Two sets of cyclic tensile tests were performed on the two joints of pipeline specimen SP2.  For both the East Joint and the West Joint of pipeline specimen SP2, four repetition tests were performed in the first cycle with a peak target shake table displacement of 0.50 in. and three repetition tests were performed in the other cycles with increased peak target shake table displacements until the failure of the liner.  Strain gages were used to indicate where the liner had debonded from the ductile iron pipe and axial force was recorded throughout each cycle.  

Liner failure was observed close to the end of spigot in both joints and non-uniform discolorations were found, which indicate the debonding between liner and the ductile iron pipeline.

title: Buffalo - Double Joint Seismic Tests with Rinaldi Ground Motion

description: The objective of this test series is to investigate the seismic behaviors of the adjacent weak joints or circumferential cracks of DI pipelines after retrofit with Starliner2000 liner subjected to asynchronized ground motion.

The relative joint opening time histories under Rinaldi ground motions obtained from the numerical analysis at Cornell University were used as the input ground motion for the double-joint tests.  The Rinaldi ground motions scaled to eight different amplitudes, from 50% up to 260%, were used as the input motions for this seismic test series. In order to prevent metal contacting in compression, the negative displacements were removed from the input ground motions.  Because 260% Rinaldi ground motion was the maximum input motion obtained from the numerical analysis at Cornell University, the 260% Rinaldi ground motion was scaled by 1.5 and 2.25 to exam the capacity of the lined joints.
