(2012-04-10)Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve sites is a practice well established in the United States. The purpose of these signs is to provide the driving public with a safe speed to negotiate such curves; ho ...
-
(1998-01-28)The undermining of bridge foundations can lead to either costly repairs or a bridge collapse. These foundations must be designed to counter the effects of scour. Current practice does not allow for accurate estimates o ...
-
(2003-06-02)This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case historie ...
-
(1998-03-18)Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolator ...
-
(1998-02-23)The seismic performance of port structures has been well documented following recent earthquakes, and indicates that port structures are highly susceptible to earthquake-induced damages. These damages are primarily due ...
-
(1993-07-30)Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperatur ...
-
(2002-11-19)The research presented here is a study to determine the effect of shear reinforcement corrosion on the shear capacity in conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge elements. A total of 14 CRC beams were tested usi ...
-
(1992-01-14)The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral w ...
-
(2005-04-28)A theoretical argument is presented to suggest that engineering curriculum be designed to develop social capital. Additionally, the value of social capital in the retention of students in the College of Engineering, an ...
-
(1992-02-11)Soil column studies were performed on a chromium contaminated soil from the United Chrome Products Superfund Site currently undergoing a pump-and-treat cleanup process. The goal of the research was to provide insight i ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-01-24)Wetland ecosystems are considered as potential ecological solutions for increasing the capacity of watersheds to store runoff waters upstream, and thereby, decrease risk of downstream flooding. Especially in tile-drain ...
-
(2002-05-22)The present research investigates nonlinear barge motions through analyses of coupled multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) deterministic and stochastic models. Roll-Heave-Sway and other lower-ordered models are developed to ...
-
(2003-04-22)An experimental study of a passive energy dissipation tension-compression yielding brace or buckling restrained brace has been conducted. The Confined Yielding Damper (CYD) consists of a steel yielding core confined w ...
-
(1994-12-02)Stochastic analysis procedures have been recently applied to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study, nonlinear responses, stochastic and/or chaotic, are examined and interpreted from a probabilistic perspec ...
-
(1998-06-10)Response behavior of a nonlinear structural system subject to environmental loadings is investigated in this study. The system contains a nonlinear restoring force due to large geometric displacement. The external exci ...
-
(2001-02-16)The nonlinear response of an ocean system subjected to random excitations can exhibit very complex dynamic behaviors including jump phenomena and coexistence of attractors. In this study, the stochastic system response b ...
-
(1972-10-17)Waters of various salinities were secured from the Umpqua estuary, the Umpqua River, and the open ocean near the mouth of the estuary. The rate of oxidation of sulfides in these various waters was investigated to asse ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-07-18)Over the last half-century, scientists and engineers have developed methods to better understand and mitigate the damage caused by tsunamis. According to U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) P646, buildings in ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-10)While contemporary civil engineering projects are increasingly complex, the cognitive abilities of the decision maker remain limited. There is a conflict between the complexity that is required to describe a scenario wit ...
