"In Sparse Black Whimsy, MSW is sliding confidently -- excuse me, bonfidently -- through the stylistic door unlocked by Junot Diaz. Equal parts George Saunders & Young Thug, the short is as sensitive in its poetic examinations of the rollercoaster millennial condition as it is playful in its trappish pig-latin. Take a moment to spark one to the tune of this literary mixtape dedicated to the feeling of the sun on your skin, & maybe prep a genius.com tab. Energetic & fresh, Sparse Black Whimsey is sure to leave you waiting for Williams'' next album to drop. " - Will Meier

A series of five detailed design examples feature the application of state-of-the-art strut-and-tie modeling (STM) design recommendations. This guidebook is intended to serve as a primary reference material for designers in the application of STM to bridge components. The examples are as follows: (Example 1) Five-Column Bent Cap of a Skewed Bridge: this design example serves as an introduction to the application of STM. Challenges are introduced by the bridge skew and complicated loading pattern. A clear procedure for defining nodal geometries is presented. (Example 2) Cantilever Bent Cap: a strut-and-tie model is developed to represent the flow of forces around a frame corner subjected to closing loads. This is accomplished, in part, through the design and detailing of a curved-bar node at the outside of the frame corner. (Example 3a) Inverted-T Straddle Bent Cap (Moment Frame): an inverted-T straddle bent cap is modeled as a component within a moment frame. Bottom-chord (ledge) loading of the inverted-T necessitates the use of local STMs to model the flow of forces through the bent cap cross section. (Example 3b) Inverted-T Straddle Bent Cap (Simply Supported): the inverted-T bent cap of Example 3a is designed as a simply supported member. Results for both the moment frame case and the simply supported case are compared to illustrate the influence of boundary condition assumptions. (Example 4) Drilled-Shaft Footing: three-dimensional STMs are developed to properly model the flow of forces through a deep drilled-shaft footing. Two unique load cases are considered to familiarize the designer with the development of such models.

The results of this thesis highlight the significance of implementing lean manufacturing, especially in a dynamic environment. As the instability in the environment increases, profitability decreases. Therefore, an increase in leanness by boosting inventory turns can compensate for the volatility and create enhanced productivity measures and financial results.
