  • GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

    Creator:
    Dutille, Victoria L.
    Abstract:
    Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...

  • The Effectiveness of the Emergency Rules of 1998, as Implemented During the Erosion Event in Neskowin Oregon, 1999

    Creator:
    Windrope, Amy
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is two-fold: to evaluate the success of the new emergency procedures promulgated in 1998 and to characterize the erosion event that precipitated the emergency during January, February and March 1999. These two purposes support each other and provide a holistic understanding of how emergencies arise...

  • Engineering Behavior of Remolded Diatomaceous Silts

    Creator:
    Pitso, Talenta
    Abstract:
    Diatomaceous soils are a geological material whose engineering properties do not readily conform to the widely accepted and used mechanical and behavioral frameworks. This ambiguity results in design difficulties and geotechnical failures which can be costly. Diatomaceous soils have diatoms in their matrix. Diatoms are unicellular algae with an inert...

  • Hydrodynamic loads on fiber-optic micro cables

    Creator:
    Evans, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    A Finite Element Model of a deployed Fiber-Optic Micro Cable (FOMC) was performed using the marine cable modeling software, OrcaFlex. The focus of this study was a parametric analysis of a two-part, towed cable array with the FOMC dragged behind a depressor and connected to a drogue chute. Length-to-diameter ratios...

  • Looking at the Relationship between Household Electricity Consumption and Annual Household Income Using an Agent-Based Integrated Framework

    Creator:
    Sorce, Evan C.
    Abstract:
    Electricity is a vital energy source for modern life, and is used in almost every aspect of daily life. United States electricity consumption totaled nearly 3,886,403 gigawatt hours in 2011. Residential electricity consumption accounts for 37 percent of total electricity consumption in the United States. Between 1990 and 2007, the...

  • Huddled Together for Warmth: Energy Efficiency and Heating Choices for Multi-Family Housing in Oregon and Washington

    Creator:
    Hatteberg, Evan
    Abstract:
    Recent trends in energy have lead to an increased push for the efficient use of energy with a focus on improving the energy efficiency of household appliances. Electric resistance heating represents a highly inefficient technology that still sees regular use. Previous literature has paid relatively little attention to the heating...

  • Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

    Creator:
    Brown, Tovey M.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...

  • PlanView & HViews : graphical user interfaces for viewing plan data

    Creator:
    Tabayoyon, Al
    Abstract:
    Visualizing and navigating through a plan is difficult without graphics. Two X applications, PlanView and HViews, are graphical user interfaces to an AI planner, OPIE, developed at the University of Oregon. In addition to a plan generator, OPIE includes a facility to generate operator abstractions which in turn are used...

  • Wind Energy in Solano County

    Creator:
    Kelly, Anna C.
    Abstract:
    While the U.S. energy portfolio increasingly includes renewables, social acceptance of such technologies can pose an important challenge for developers. Using survey data from a random sample of nearby households (n=524), content analysis of coverage in local newspapers, and interviews with various stakeholders (n=14), I explore local social acceptance of...

  • Wind Energy Siting in Harney and Crook Counties, Oregon

    Creator:
    Bhattarai, Mukesh
    Abstract:
    Concerns over climate change and energy security have spurred governments worldwide to encourage the development of renewable energy. Although public attitudes and macro-politics, in general, show moderate to strong support for renewables- in particular, wind power- largely because of the economic and environmental benefits associated with it. However, local politics...
