Numerical response of concrete-lined tunnels crossing active faults

Creator:: Lange, Stephanie
Abstract:: A challenge for municipal authorities of growing urban areas is to provide larger and faster transportation and utility networks that are safe and resilient to significant disruptions after an earthquake event and other disasters. Urban regions, like the San Francisco Bay or the Los Angeles area, are situated in seismically...

Implementation of a gross anatomical maturity key for the study of spawning phenology and geography of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus)

Creator:: Neidetcher, Sandra
Abstract:: Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is an important species, both economically and ecologically in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). However, little is known about its spawning dynamics. To address this knowledge gap, I developed a gross anatomical maturity key for Pacific cod to assess temporal and spatial patterns of...

Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

Creator:: Cawley, Jessica Grace
Abstract:: Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

Soil-bridge interaction during long-duration earthquake motions

Creator:: Romney, Kyle T.
Abstract:: Earthquake engineering analyses are often performed using shallow, crustal earthquake motions (e.g., 1940 El Centro). However, large areas of the world are subject to subduction zone earthquake motions (e.g., the Pacific Northwest). A subduction zone earthquake motion is characterized by its long duration (e.g., strong shaking lasts for more than...

Absolute water velocity profiles from glider-mounted acoustic doppler current profilers

Creator:: Ordonez, Christopher Edward
Abstract:: This paper details a method to compute absolute water velocity profiles from glider-based acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements based on the "shear method" developed for lowered ADCPs. The instrument is a 614-kHz Teledyne RDI ADCP integrated into the body of a Teledyne Webb Research Slocum Glider. Shear is calculated...

Transport and Mixing of Buoyant Water from Small Mountainous Rivers : An Investigation of Estuarine Residence Timescales and Coastal Current Propagation

Creator:: Lemagie, Emily P.
Abstract:: Small rivers, such as those that line the Oregon coast, have been shown to deliver significant concentrations of suspended sediments and nutrients to estuaries and the coastal ocean during wet seasons during which winds are predominantly downwelling-favorable. The fate of the buoyant source water and of any suspended or dissolved...

Framework for assessing the potential safety performance of construction mechanical and electrical field employees

Creator:: Moghaddam Vahed, Ali
Abstract:: In the field of construction safety, many researchers have worked to create assessment tools. These tools focus on different aspects of construction safety, such as assessing safety climate, safety culture, etc. Although research indicates that the majority of incidents are caused by unsafe behaviors and acts, there are no comprehensive...

Dynamics of the Columbia River tidal plume

Creator:: Kilcher, Levi F.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the dynamics of the tidally modulated outflow from the Columbia River mouth using high resolution measurements of velocity, density and turbulent microstructure. At high tide, flow through the river mouth reverses from flood (onshore) to ebb (offshore). During ebb, buoyant fluid issues from the river mouth and...

Mapping semi-regular autonomous underwater vehicle glider observations onto a cross-shelf section

Creator:: Peery, Andrew Tristan
Abstract:: Two Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Gliders have alternated continuous sampling of a 45-nautical mile transect line (the Newport Hydrographic Line) across the Oregon continental shelf since April, 2006. Strong currents (>25cm/s) push the gliders off their trajectories as they survey this transect line, preventing them from sampling the historically occupied stations...

The Responses of Slope-spawning Flatfish to Environmental Variability in the Eastern Bering Sea

Creator:: Vestfals, Cathleen D.
Abstract:: When adult spawning and juvenile settling locations of marine fishes are geographically separated, their early life history stages must rely on transport and their own behavior to move them toward suitable habitats for successful recruitment to the juvenile phase. Variations in climate may reduce the availability of spawning and juvenile...
