Structural analysis of symmetrical penstock bifurcations by the finite element method

Creator:: Shugar, T. A.
Abstract:: A need has existed for an in-depth structural analysis of penstock bifurcations because they form an integral part of hydroelectric power plants. Their geometrical complexity has prevented classical structural analysis from providing an accurate and overall picture of the stresses in the structure. Digital computers and the development of finite...

Pile hammer selection by driving stress analysis

Creator:: Barrero-Quiroga, Franklin
Abstract:: This paper presents an application of the wave equation to the problem of selecting a driving hammer for prestressed concrete piles. The potentially damaging effects of these types of hammers on various prestressed concrete piles were analyzed by means of parametric studies carried out on a hypothetical group of problems...

Right-hook crash causality at signalized intersections

Creator:: Jannat, Mafruhatul
Abstract:: A Right-hook (RH) crash is a common type of bicycle-motor vehicle crash that occurs between a right-turning vehicle and through-moving bicycle at an intersection. At signalized intersections, RH crashes can occur at the onset of the green or during the latter portion of the green phase. In spite of the...

Evaluation of ground motion duration effects on the damage prediction of building and bridge structural and soil-structural systems

Creator:: Belejo, Andre
Abstract:: The role of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of civil engineering structures remains unclear. Thus, the role of earthquake strong ground motion duration is assessed in a three manuscript thesis, which includes: (1) assessment of the effects of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of a model...

Development of the simplified method to evaluate dynamic mechanical analysis data on asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:: Ab-Wahab, Yunus Bin
Abstract:: Testing of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures using dynamic mechanical analysis is becoming popular with improvements in high-speed computers, precision equipment, and computer software. Researchers are trying to describe the behavior of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures in terms of their time- and temperature-dependent linear viscoelastic behavior. The objectives of...

Input/output energy analysis of regional water pollution control

Creator:: Heggen, Richard J.
Abstract:: Two strategic approaches to water quality control in Oregon's Willamette River are presently being utilized: point source treatment and flow augmentation. Dry weather releases from reservoirs are for authorized purposes other than water quality. Reservoirs can participate in pollution control by summer flow augmentation where authorized water resource objectives (flood...

Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

Creator:: Carroll, Cameron T.
Abstract:: Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...

Tsunami Loading on Coastal Infrastructure

Creator:: Xie, Zhongliang
Abstract:: The safety of coastal infrastructure has been a concern after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 and the Great East Japan Tsunami in 2011. The western coast of the United States is also exposed to tsunami hazards due to the Cascadia subduction zone. Therefore, it is critical to design coastal...
