A laboratory experiment on sand bar migration with comparisons to recent models

Creator:

Magalen, Jason

Abstract:

Successful prediction of nearshore sediment migration is important in determining the vulnerability of a coastline. During energetic wave climates (storm events) sediment rapidly erodes from beaches and is deposited offshore. In subsequent milder wave conditions, the sediment migrates shoreward, accreting on the beach and helping to protect the coastline. It...

Permanent deformation characteristics of dense-graded mixes using asphalt pavement analyzer

Creator:

Sandoval-Gil, Jesus A.

Abstract:

The Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) device was used to characterize the impact of various mix factors on the development of permanent deformation in dense-graded mixes given a standard compactive effort. Factors included two aggregate sizes, three VMA levels, two fines contents, three binder contents and four binder types. All specimens...

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with FRP laminates

Creator:

Chansawat, Kasidit

Abstract:

The Horsetail Creek (HC) bridge is an example of an Oregon bridge that was classified as structurally deficient and was not designed to withstand earthquake (EQ) excitations. A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation was performed on the HC bridge to increase flexural and shear capacities for traffic loads. However, a seismic...
