Why Do REITs Repurchase Stock? Extricating the Effect of Managerial Signaling in Open Market Share Repurchase Announcements: This paper explores the effect of stock repurchase announcements on equity returns for publicly traded real estate investment trusts. In addition to providing analysis of the corporate real estate decision to repurchase shares, the study of share repurchases in the context of real estate investment trusts provides a novel opportunity...; Tags: Real estate, Investment, Financial services, Brigham Young University, REIT, corporate real estate, equity, theory, analysis, stock; White papers 2005-06-16
How To Exploit Ontologies In Trust Negotiation: The World Wide Web makes it easy to share information and resources, but offers few ways to limit the manner in which these resources are shared. The specification and automated enforcement of security-related policies offer promise as a way of providing controlled sharing, but few tools are available to assist...; Tags: Strategy, Brigham Young University, ontology, specification, WWW, negotiation, security, tool, Web; White papers 2004-09-30
Effect of Overdriven-Nail-Depth Combinations on Wood Shear Wall Strength: Wood shear walls using nailed sheathing panels and wood framing form an important lateral force resisting system in many residential and commercial structures. Improperly driven (overdriven) nails are significant because wood shear wall strength may be reduced from 5 to 22%, depending on the depth the nails are overdriven. This...; Tags: Construction, Brigham Young University, wall, nail; White papers 2004-05-01
Analytical Modeling of Nailed Sheathing: Connections in Wood Shear Walls: This paper proposes an improved analytical model for nailed connections between sheathing and framing in wood shear walls. The proposed connector model is capable of both monotonic and cyclic analysis may be implemented in a general-purpose finite element program or in a specialized structural analysis program, and the overall response...; Tags: Construction, Brigham Young University, wall, analysis, modeling; White papers 2004-03-09
Hysteresis Model Parameters for Nailed Sheathing Connections in Wood Shear Walls: Wood shear walls provide the primary lateral resistance in many residential and commercial structures. The overall strength and behavior of a shear wall is determined by the individual behavior of the nailed sheathing connections. The objective of this paper is to quantify the effects of loading, unloading, pinching, and strength...; Tags: Construction, Brigham Young University, wall; White papers 2004-03-09

Hysteresis Models for Nailed Sheathing-to-Framing Connections in Wood Shear Walls and Diaphragms: This paper discusses the hysteresis models for nailed wood shear walls and diaphragms. For comparison, the dynamic response of a 2.44 X 2.44 m wood shear wall is predicted using the Clough, Q-hyst, and modified Stewart hysteresis models. The results indicate that parameters describing strength degradation, stiffness degradation, and pinching...; Tags: Construction, Brigham Young University, wall; White papers 2004-03-02
Implementation of an Oriented Sheathing-To-Framing Connector Model Into Cashew: This paper presents the implementation of the oriented sheathing-to-framing connector model into software called CASHEW. In a oriented connector model each nailed connection is represented using two nonlinear springs that are oriented using the initial linear deformation trajectory of the connection. As a result, connection stiffness is not overestimated, the...; Tags: Brigham Young University, wall, analysis, software; White papers 2004-03-02
Finite Element Analysis of Wood Shear Walls and Diaphragms Using ABAQUS: Wood shear walls and diaphragms are used in a variety of structures to resist lateral forces. Both residential and commercial structures often employ a system 'of horizontal wood diaphragms and vertical wood shear walls to resist lateral forces generated during earthquakes and strong winds. This paper presents finite element analysis...; Tags: Construction, Brigham Young University, Abaqus, wall, analysis, software; White papers 2003-07-23
FRP Strengthened Wood-Frame Roofs: The response of wood-frame roofs strengthened with FRP sheathing panels is discussed in this paper. A finite element model is developed using commercial software. The model uses standard elements to represent sheathing and framing and a "user" element to represent nailed connections between sheathing and framing. Comparison of the finite...; Tags: Tools & Techniques, Brigham Young University, software; White papers 2003-05-13
Markets: Supply And Demand For International Economics: International business involves managing business operations in multiple locations across the globe.
