Heat source : stream, river and open channel temperature prediction

Boyd, Matthew S. (1996-10-10)

Reach defined analysis concentrated on the water temperature change that occurred in a stream/river segment over the course of one full diurnal cycle. Digital thermistors, data loggers and computer model development we ...
Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

Ko, Harrison T. (2013-04-02)

Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, alumi ...
Identification of structural parameters and hydrodynamic effects for forced and free vibration

Kruchoski, Brian L. (Brian Louis) (1992-08-10)

Statistically-based estimation techniques are presented in this study. These techniques incorporate structural test data to improve finite element models used for dynamic analysis. Methods are developed to identify o ...
In situ measurement of the benthal oxygen requirements of tidal flat deposits

Crook, Gene Ray (1970-05-01)

In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that actual conditions o ...
In vitro anaerobic trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation with rumen fluid and an isolate, G.8

Lee, Taejin (1994-11-30)
In-plane stability of truss chords with application to wood trusses

Kasal, Bohumil (1993-06-14)

Stability analysis of truss chords loaded by a combination of axial and lateral forces is studied. A simple model based on beam-column theory is proposed and analyzed. The continuous truss chord is replaced by a beam ...
Incipient motion and particle transport in gravel-bed streams

Matin, Habib (1994-12-12)

The incipient motion of sediment particles in gravel-bed rivers is a very important process. It represents the difference between bed stability and bed mobility. A field study was conducted in Oak Creek, Oregon to inv ...
Indirect parameter identification algorithm in radial coordinates for a porous medium

Roley, Kenneth L. (1992-03-10)

The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for the first nuclear waste repository in the United State ...
Inhibition, kinetic and modeling studies of acetylene and 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene on reductive dechlorination of TCE and vinyl chloride

Pon, George (2003-12-17)

Laboratory and modeling studies were performed with a mixed-anaerobic-culture obtained from the Evanite site in Corvallis, Oregon. The culture completely transforms trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE), ...
Interaction of water waves and deformable bodies

Broderick, Laurie L. (1991-07-25)

A time-domain model was developed to predict the fluid/structure interaction of a three-dimensional deformable body in a fluid domain subject to long-crested finite amplitude waves. These nonlinear waves induce transie ...
Internal curing of high-performance concrete for bridge decks

Deboodt, Tyler (2011-12-09)

High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this t ...
Investigation of the fatigue behavior of diagonally-cracked CRC deck-girders repaired with CFRP

Williams, Grahme T. (2005-09-02)

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are becoming more widely used for repair and strengthening of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge members. Once installed, the repair may be exposed to millions of load cycle ...
A kinetic model for dissolved gas transport in the presence of trapped gas

Donaldson, Jeremy H. (1996-09-13)

Understanding the processes involved in the transport of dissolved gas plumes in groundwater aquifers is essential for comprehending the effect that these transport processes can have on site characterization and remedia ...
Laboratory evaluation of aging for asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Sosnovske, Dan (1994-12-20)

This research was conducted as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) A-003A contract at Oregon State University to validate the findings of SHRP contracts A-002A and A-003B with regard to aging of aspha ...
Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of inner surf and swash zone hydrodynamics on a steep slope

Shin, Sungwon (2005-09-23)
Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Porter, Aaron K. (2012-08-13)

This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collec ...
Laboratory study of chromium sorption and desorption in undisturbed soil

Muller, Heike K. (1992-10-20)
A lagrangian philosophy for plume modeling

Frick, Walter Eugen (1994-05-06)
Load sharing and system factors for light-frame wall systems

Yu, Guangren (2003-01-17)

A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate ...
Local scour at isolated obstacles on river beds

Huang, Cheng-Chang (1990-08-30)

Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes, and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was achieved by a systematic flum ...
