This dissertation presents a non-relativistic microscopic mean field theory of finite nuclei in which the nucleus is described as a collection of nucleons and delta resonances. The ground state properties of the nuclei ¹⁶O and ⁴⁰Ca are determined within the spherical Hartree-Fock (SHF) approximation using a realistic effective no-core Hamiltonian in basis spaces consisting of up to six major oscillator shells. A detailed study of the zero temperature properties of these nuclei under compression and dilation is presented in order to gain insight into the nuclear equation of state. Under certain conditions a transition to a mixture of nucleons and deltas is found. The transition is reminiscent of a first order phase transition.

Moment resistant frames are mainly used in resisting lateral loads in buildings. During the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, some of these moment steel frame connections could not undergo inelastic deformation which led to many structural damages. New connection systems were proposed and tested which performed better than the pre-Northridge moment frame connections. Reduced beam section (RBS) connection is one of the most widely used connections after the Northridge Earthquake. Instead of increasing the steel at beam-column, the RBS connection rather removed steel from the flange of the beam. This connection thus gives the designer the option of deciding where the yield will occur in the frame. This research studies the three different parameters used in describing the location and configuration of the radius cut reduced beam section by employing finite element modeling. Variations in ductility, strength and elastic displacement were observed as these parameters were changed. Reducing the flange thus helped with ductility but affected the lateral load carrying capacity and stiffness of the frame.
